Google pauses the development of allo and announces the arrival of chat

Google Allo is the messaging application of the big G, although the truth is that it has never been successful. The application is not popular with users. Something that the company itself has also finally seen. For this reason, they have decided to stop the development of Allo and announce the launch of a new messaging application. Chat is coming soon.

Google pauses the development of Allo and announces the arrival of Chat

They have seen that Google Allo does not finish taking off, so there is no point in continuing to invest in the application. So they bet on a new application that can cope with others like Telegram or WhatsApp. Will Chat do this?

Goodbye Google Allo, hello Chat

The idea is for Chat to become the messaging application for Android phones. It will take care of combining several services in one. Thanks to the application, you can send SMS, RCS multimedia messaging and conversations that require the use of data (such as in Telegram or WhatsApp). In this way all the messaging services are united in the same application.

Everything that has to do with text, photos, videos or voice memo will be used Chat. For calls and video calls, the idea is that users use Google Duo, which is also not the most popular application on the market.

It can certainly be an interesting move by Google to launch this application. It is not well known when it will hit the market, although it will surely be this year. Nothing is known about Allo's future yet. Although it does not seem that it is a very promising future.
