How Safe Google Allo is

Google was released yesterday the second messaging application he had announced during Google I / O. The Google Allo app is available for download from yesterday, but apparent privacy features are missing.

Google Allo app is undoubtedly a very exciting chat app, and definitely an alternative to choose from among others , όπως το Messenger και το WhatsApp του Facebook. Google Allo

But something is wrong:

When Google first announced Allo, it said it would focus on new privacy features and that it wouldn't store messages indefinitely, only temporarily. Promised end-to-end encryption in anonymous mode .

Yes, the final version of Allo released yesterday stores messages indefinitely, up to αποφασίσει να τα διαγράψει. Η ανώνυμη περιήγηση έρχεται με κρυπτογράφηση end-to-end και οι χρήστες έχουν τη δυνατότητα να ορίσουν ένα χρονοδιακόπτη για delete messages, just like in the WhatsApp application. But Google had announced another privacy protection feature last May. It promised that the conversations will not be stored on its servers, which it seems is not going to change.

The reason;

It's Google's new AI technology, Google Assistant. Google Assistant using Allo reads the messages and learns the user's behavior by providing answers, even pictures.

To do this, the Allo app needs to access as much data as it can get, so Google decided that the best way was to store the messages on its servers. However this shows that privacy is being traded in favor of Google Assistant.

"Even Eduard Snowden said on his Twitter account that the Google Allo app logs every message you send and will make it available to the police if requested."
