Allo? Allo? Is there anyone there?

It doesn’t come up as a surprise that Google failed miserably yet again with another messaging app. Allo, launched in September of 2016, along with Duo, it’s most successful sibling, was the latest attempt from the company to appeal to the public with a clean, easy to use, straight forward messenger, while also trying to sneak up the google assistant in there, to help you get instant search results you never asked for, based on the context of your chats.

This also wasn’t Google’s first, or second, or fifth fail when it comes to messengers. That graveyard is occupied by Voice, Chat, Hangouts, Spaces, and others. Luckily they’ll find out a formula that works for them, even if it takes buying Telegram to actually own something that works and people like.
