At Google they continue betting on their own messaging and communication applications. And it is that they do not resist giving up everything for lost before WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. That is why they continue to release updates on tools like Google Allo. A messaging application that attracted attention during its presentation last year at the Google I / O event, but which continues to have a hard time starting up. All this despite its attractive design and possibilities, among which the presence of the Google Assistant stands out.This is everything that brings back its latest version.
This is an update that is gradually reaching Android users around the world. It is possible that, in Spain, it will still be delayed several days. When it lands, we'll see how Google Allo and its cousin, Google Duo,join forces to improve and enhance communicationthrough these messaging and video call applications
Call and video call from a chat
One of the new features of Google Allo is to integrate with Google Duo. To do this, as of this latest update, the Google Duo icon will appear in Google Allo chats. Right at the top right. In this way it is really easy and comfortable to jump between messages and calls or video calls from one application to the other. You just have to press the button and choose what type of communication you want to carry out with said contact.
Of course, you must have both applications installed in the terminal. Otherwise, the icon takes us directly to the Google Duo download page in the Google Play Store. In addition, it is mandatory that the interlocutor has said application installed to be able to carry out the call or video call. However, Google has thought of everything and introduced a invitation system to get you to the download page quickly.
Stickers on photos
