I saw this today, not that I am going to run to install it, will be interesting to see in 1 or 2 years where it is.

You can use stuff like expiring messages, google inside the chat, stickers, group chat... i.e, just another chat app with maybe one or two extra features sucking more battery life from your phone.

Whether it’s planning a night out or just catching up, we all rely on messaging to stay in touch with friends and loved ones. But too often we have to hit pause on our conversations — whether it’s to check the status of a flight or look up that new restaurant. So we created a messaging app that helps you keep your conversation going, by providing assistance when you need it.

Today, we’re releasing Google Allo, a new smart messaging app for Android and iOS that helps you say more and do more right in your chats. Google Allo can help you make plans, find information, and express yourself more easily in chat. And the more you use it, the more it improves over time.

Respond quickly with Smart Reply
Google Allo makes it easier for you to respond quickly and keep the conversation going, even when you’re on the go. With Smart Reply, you can respond to messages with just a tap, so you can send a quick “yup” in response to a friend asking “Are you on your way?” Smart Reply will also suggest responses for photos. If your friend sends you a photo of their pet, you might see Smart Reply suggestions like “aww cute!” And whether you’re a “haha” or “������” kind of person, Smart Reply will improve over time and adjust to your style.

I saw the article on MyBB. Unfortunately the app is not yet available for us in SA it seems. You can only register for the app, but it's not yet available. I'll definitely be testing this and trying to get all my friends to download and install as well.

Net vi jou het ek ook ge preregister
 
I love Google apps, most of them are really awesome! The biggest issue with this is getting people to switch over from wats app...
 
Yay, one down, now to target the rest



Well people went over from BBM to Whatsapp, even while BB's were popular, so it may happen.

True, but here a big factor was that BBM locked you into a BlackBerry (at the time) and watts app did cross platform and on any device. I think wats app could improve a hell of a lot in its current form, and this does seem to have some cool features...

Yeah my comments actually is much more tongue in cheek...it will take a huge amount or an amazing app to replace Whatsapp. I'm not sure if Google will deliver, as their last iterations fell rather flat.
