If you are one of those who chats with the comfort of a full keyboard and a large screen, now you have to add a new alternative. WhatsApp and Telegram already have web clients for a long time. Now the latest messaging app from Google too. It is Google Allo for Web, and it allows you to enjoy all the features of the application, but through your computer. As long as you use this messaging service, of course.
Google Allo was introduced at the Google I/O developer event in May of last year.Some time later, the application already gave us something to talk about thanks to its intelligent assistant With it it is possible to receive contextual information about what is being said, ask it to carry out a task , or even manage table reservations (in its American version) without leaving the chat. Well, all this is already available through the computer.
First we update Google Allo for Android
The activation process is really easy. Especially if you are a regular user of WhatsApp Web, since it is very similar. However, you must have the latest version of the application Google Allo for Android mobiles It has already begun to appear in the Google Play Store, the application store, but It is possible that it will still take several days to land in Spain.
To force its update we can go through the APKMirror application repository and get the version 16.0.024_RC10 The download and installation process is safe, although not as safe as waiting for its availability in the Google Play Store. We have tested it without any apparent problem.
After that we can access the new section of the application. It is Allo Web, and it is found as a second option in the side menu. From here the application guides the user to link his account from the mobile to the computer. As we said, the similarities with WhatsApp Web are notable, especially because the key to this process is a QR code that must be scanned. Click on the button to activate the camera and go to the next step.
Allo Web
The next step is to scan the aforementioned QR code that should be displayed through the computer. To do this, access the web page https://allo.google.com/web, which automatically shows, and in a good size, said QR code.So it's easy to frame it with your mobile and Login to Allo Web almost instantly Simple and straightforward. And what is most important: safely.
Using Google Allo Web
Once our Allo Web session has been opened we will have the same tools as in the application. But with the comfort of the computer. Simply navigate through the list of contacts to resume any pending conversation with them Or start a new one.
Otherwise, everything is exactly the same as in the app. We have a large collection of Emoji emoticons to give expressiveness to written messages. If this seems little to us, we can also make use of the stickers. More expressive and colorful scenes that are also intertwined with the messages.
The possibility of sending photos saved on the computer is not missing either. You just have to click on the clip to open a window and select all those you want to send. But the jewel in the crown is still the assistant It may not be the most helpful and accommodating, but it's the distinctive touch of this app. And it can be used on the computer.
Now, as with WhatsApp Web, it is necessary to have the mobile constantly operational. This is having the Google Allo application active and connected to the Internet if we want to exchange information through the computer.
