ALLO misses the train and can't handle WhatsApp. Google's failure?

We've been slow to talk about the Google messaging app, we know. Everything has a reason. We were waiting to see the level of acceptance it was getting.

We've been using it for a few weeks and, for us, it's just another messaging app that doesn't add anything new. With it we can communicate with our contacts, send stickers, play GIFs, things that many other apps in its category do.

The only thing we liked was the virtual assistant with which we can interact in the app. It's like a Google search engine but implemented in the application interface.

And many of you will say Whatsapp doesn't allow us to do many of the things that it allows us to do ALLO. You're right, but soon and how do you As we explained in one of our articles, we are going to receive a good handful of functions that will make us enjoy the queen of messaging apps even more.

WHY GOOGLE ALLO MISSED THE TRAIN:

Just looking at the release date of the app.

Google published ALLO days before the end of the period of acceptance of the new terms and conditions of Whatsapp . They wanted to take advantage of the large number of people who, supposedly, did not want to accept those conditions, to attract users. From what we have been able to read and notice in our circles of friends and family, it seems that in the end almost all the people went through the hoop and continue on Whatsapp or, if they migrated, did it to other apps like, for example, Telegram.

Telegram is a great example for what we're talking about.

The creators of this great messaging app gained a lot of followers by taking advantage of the Whatsapp server crashes. That is one of the main reasons why Telegram has so many users today that, together with the high quality of the application, it keeps growing.

This denotes that to defeat Whatsapp you have to take advantage of a moment of weakness on the platform. There were with server crashes, which no longer occurs, and there have been with the change in terms and conditions, which in the end the "laziness" of migrating to another app has made almost all of us bow our heads and accept .

It may be that in the future the thing will turn around and this supposed failure of Google will become a huge success, but we believe that this will not come.

In APPerlas we still have hope that, in the future, an application will appear that can defeat the undisputed queen of messaging apps.
