in a note from blogGoogle wanted to hear about the future of various instant messaging services, including: Google Hangouts, Google Hello, and Google Messages. “Earlier this year, we stopped our investment in Allo and integrated some of its most popular features into Messages” google ad.
Google buried Allo to focus on Messages
“Considering the good momentum of Messages, we have decided to stop supporting Allo to focus on Messages” explains the press release. “Allo will continue to work until March 2019 and until then you will be able to export all your existing chat history from the app” guarantees the company. If you are an Allo user, you are invited to export your messages by following the instructions on the support site.
We would like to remind you that Google Allo was launched in 2016. The instant messaging app was initially a huge success. In September 2016, Google Allo surpassed 5 million downloads on the Google Play Store in just a few days. Unfortunately for Google, Internet users quickly lost interest in its app.
Google Allo has never opposed apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, which are well known among consumers. Within a few years, the Mountain View firm quickly realized the obvious: Allo is a failure.
Under these circumstances, Google Messages currently has 175 million monthly users. The application will benefit from the RCS protocol, which aims to replace SMS in the coming years. In the process, Google announced that Hangouts Chat and Hangouts will soon be available to individuals and will no longer be reserved for businesses. Will you regret Google Hello?
