Google has confirmed that it is discontinuing it application smart messaging Allo to focus more on Messages application.
Allo will continue to work until March of 2019, and will give users the option to export their conversation history to Messages.
“Νωρίτερα φέτος, σταματήσαμε να επενδύουμε στην Allo και φέραμε μερικά από τα πιο αγαπημένα χαρακτηριστικά της – όπως το Smart Reply, τα GIF και την υποστήριξη desktop – στην εφαρμογή Messages” δήλωσε ο Matt Klainer, VP of Consumer Google's Communications Products in a Publication.
"We learned a lot from Allo, especially about the integration of machine learning features, such as the use of Google Assistant in messaging," he said, adding that more machine learning features will be integrated into the Google Duo video application.
According to Klainer, it's all part of Google's focus on "a simpler communication experience".
We want every Android device to have a great default experience vschangeς μηνυμάτων. Έχουμε συνεργαστεί στενά με τη βιομηχανία των κινητών τηλεφώνων για την αναβάθμιση του SMS έτσι ώστε οι άνθρωποι από όλο τον κόσμο να μπορούν πιο εύκολα να απολαμβάνουν συνομιλίες ομάδας, να μοιράζονται φωτογραφίες υψηλής ανάλυσης και να λαμβάνουν αποδεικτικά deliverys on any Android device.
He added that more than 175 million people already use the Messages app on mobile phones Android every month thanks to Google's partnerships with 40 mobile carriers and device manufacturers.
Klainer also announced plans for the company to allow users of the Hangouts chat program to add people outside of their organization to a conversation. For example, customers, suppliers, and partners.
"By refocusing on the Messages app, and the Consumer Duo, and the Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet for group chats, we're focusing on providing simpler and more integrated communication," he concluded.
Allo had been announced May of 2016, and Google began to deploy smart messaging service in September of the same year.
Allo was Google's first messaging app to feature suggested "smart" responses that learn over time from user behavior. It supported sending emojis, photos and sketches, as well as standard text messages to Android and iOS devices.
