Top 5 Hidden features of Google Allo

Google Allo is an instant messaging app from Google for Android and iOS mobile devices. Introduced in 2016 by invitation only and integrated with the user's phonebook, Allo supports disappearing chats and encryption. It is also one of the first products to use Google's newer virtual assistant (see Google Assistant). By swiping, Whisper Shout makes text size tiny to avoid prying eyes or very large all-caps for emphasis.Here are a few best features of the newly launched  Google Allo.

Changing Text Size
You can quickly change the size of the message that you are sending in Allo by long pressing the send button which turns it into a slider. From there, simply move the slider up or down depending on your preference.

Use stickers
You can access these sticker packs by tapping the '+' button on the left-hand side of the text input box. Then switch over to stickers by tapping the fourth icon from the floating bar. You can also browse through all the available sticker packs by tapping the button Get more sticker packs button located on the right.

Use Google Personal Assistant while chatting to Friend
You can have a one-on-one conversation with Google Assistant in Allo but you can also quickly get the assistant in any conversation. A simple '@google' mention followed by your query to the assistant will lead it to reply back with the relevant answers and information.

Doodle on Images
While you can share images and videos in Allo, you can also doodle on them. Once you select an image, you will get a pencil icon. Tapping on this pencil icon will allow you to doodle and draw on images as you like. You can also add text on images before sharing them if that suits your style better.

Incognito Mode
Allo offers an Incognito Mode that doesn't store a record of your conversation. You can set a timer specifying the duration of the chat, following which it will be automatically deleted. All incognito chats are overlaid with a grey incognito icon. To go incognito click on the chat button on down right and then select Start incognito Chat.
