How to get started?
You can start using Alloy by simply going to the play store and installing it on the Android Phone. When you will launch it for the first time, it will ask for your phone number for the verification similar to how things work on Google duo. Once your mobile number will get verified, the app will ask you to put your profile picture and name.
Main screen of Allo
Allo will allow you to send 20 pictures at a time from the ten limited on whatsapp. It will look similar to what hangouts look like (But without all the features in hangouts). You will also observe a small change in the notification area; the app shows smart response as a quick reply to the contacts who message you.
Brownie Points
It has a Google assistant and that’s why you will get entirely different chat experience because you will be able to summon Google Assistant in your personal chat and can ask questions, play games or for the movie experience. And this will give you the entirely different experience.
