How to save your Google Allo chats before it closes

Google doesn't get it right with its social and messaging proposals. It is a fact that has been going on for quite some time. But they do not stop trying to find a service or application that wins over Internet users. It will not be Google Allo, which has already announced its definitive closure for March 2019 But don't throw your hands up if you have been one of its most prolific users , since Google has introduced a way to save and save the conversations held in this application.

And it has done so in its latest Google Allo update. A new version in which they have included a formula to obtain the transcription of all conversations in a CSV file. A format that is comfortable to move between computers and devices, but whose readability leaves a lot to be desired, since everything is separated by commas. So, although you will have all your conversations, going through them will be an arduous and uncomfortable task. In addition, in this new version of Google Allo it is possible to export the multimedia files shared in the different chats, so you will not lose anything if you do everything on time.

Step by Step

The first thing to do is download the new version of Google Allo from the Google Play Store. In this way you will have the new function to export all the contents of the conversations.

Thus, all that remains is to display the side menu and access Settings. Here you need to look for the Chat section. This will bring up a new menu headed with two cool options:

One of them is Export chat messages Clicking on it generates the aforementioned CSV file that we can send by mail, save to the cloud or just save in the terminal itself. It is a file that can be opened with a doc reader for consultation. Although, as we said, the legibility of the transcribed conversations leaves much to be desired.

The other option is to Export chat multimedia files In this way, what is generated is a .zip (compressed) file with the photos, videos and audios sent through the different conversations. In other words, a repository of all shared multimedia so as not to get rid of it.

This way the chats would be safe even when Google closes it with Google Allo.Files that are back in our possession without the need to have the application installed and/or operational. Something that will help those who have shared content or relevant information through this ephemeral messaging service.

New warning message

Those who update Google Allo to export all the contents of their conversations and not lose anything will also find another novelty. It is a kind of banner or ad that reaches the main screen of the application. And it is that Google does not want anyone to be caught by surprise by the closure of this tool. That's why it leaves it clearly visible as soon as you start the application.

This announcement serves to remember the date of the system closure, which will take place next March 2019. But it does not only serve as a reminder.By clicking on the warning message, you are redirected to the official Google blog to read all the information regarding Google Allo, its closure, its reasons and its ways to retrieve shared content.
