Not content to rest on its laurels, Google has rolled out another messaging app that adds AI assistant functions to your everyday chat and SMS app. Google Allo (Android, iOS) has your typical mobile messaging features such as chat, photo messaging, stickers, emoji, and a doodle/annotation tool for photos, but the standout addition is its use of Google Assistant, the AI-powered assistant that can suggest quick message replies or find information relevant to your chat conversations, such as nearby restaurants, the weather report, and more. Additionally, there's an Incognito chat mode that features end-to-end encryption, private notifications and self-destructing messages.
