Google Allo imitates Facebook and allows you to react to messages

Google Allo is on its way to becoming a good alternative to all those instant messaging applications we already know, such as WhatsApp or Telegram. It already has more than ten million downloads in the Google Play app store and is updated day after day to make the messaging service more complete. Also, Google Allo is not just another WhatsApp. It is connected in such a way to Google that it acts as an intelligent assistant.

I love your comment: reactions on Google Allo

In the latest Google Allo update, the company has set its sights on Facebook. You have added reactions to the messages that users send each other. Simply, it is the same option that we can find in Messenger Facebook. When you read a person's comment, you can add a heart to the sandwich, which reflects your opinion about said comment. Unlike in Messenger Facebook, it is not a face of approval, rejection, a kiss... You can only choose a heart to show how much you like the comment. Will you be adding emoticons with the following updates?

The new reaction function in messages is also available in group chats. All you have to do to leave your opinion on a message is click on the heart-shaped smiley If you're in a group, the 'likes' counter may increase, as we see in Facebook posts.

Amit Fulay, Google Allo's product manager, confirmed this new function yesterday through his Twitter account. If you still do not have it, you will have to wait. In the meantime, if you don't know Google Allo yet, you can take a look at it. What's new regarding WhatsApp or Telegram? The integration of the service with Google. You can create smart groups, chat with the Google bot to ask questions... It's a more immersive experience oriented towards online help, and it converges with your usual messages. Whether it succeeds or not is only a matter of time.
