Two New Google Apps That Will Blow Up Your Mind
Google announced two new applications Allo and Duo at Google I/O on May 18, 2016. These Apps are due to be released in the summer 2016 and would be available for free on both Android and iOS . By the time being you all can Pre-register the apps so that you can recieve notifications on your device when the apps are released.
Allo - Smart Messaging App
Allo(prounced like "Aloe") a smart messaging app that has Google Assistant built-in . It helps to make your conversations more easier and expressive. You will signup with your phone number and contact to anyone in your phonebook.
Allo has all new features which differentiate it from the other messaging apps.So, first starting with "Whisper Shout" which means you can enlarge or shrink the size of the text easily by holding the send button and then drag your finger up and down .Allo app also consists of stickers and emojis like other messaging apps.
It has feature "Ink" which means that get creative with the photos you send by doodling on them.
The coolest feature of Allo app is "Smart Reply"that means you can respond to messages without typing a single word.Smart Reply learns over time and will show suggestions that are in your style. For example, it will learn whether you’re more of a “haha” vs. “lol” kind of person.It also works same for the photos as well. Suppose for example, your friend send you photo of her new born baby.When she sends you the message, Allo puts some suggested replies at the bottom which are called suggestion chips.
Google builds up these suggestion chips based on the machine learning it can apply to the way that you actually type.In the above example, the suggestion chips would be "Aww So Cute" or "Congratulations".It helps you to keep the conversation going.
There's also an Incognito Mode — similar to Incognito Mode on Chrome. When you enable it, your conversation is encrypted end-to-end and Google can't read it at all. And notifications from Incognito chats don't reveal their contents on your lock screen.

Duo - Video Calling App
Duo is the fastest and simplest video calling app for both Android and iOS. Like Allo, Duo is based on your phone number, allowing you to reach anyone in your phonebook.
Duo dynamically adjusts the video and audio quality to suit whatever connection you're on. To reduce the latency on the video it uses WebRTC.
You can also switch between wifi to cellular or vice-versa without dropping a call.
The most amazing feature of Duo app is "Knock Knock", which shows you a live video preview of the caller before you pick up. Once you answer, it gets you right into video call immediately. Isn't it the coolest feature that we were waiting to have in our video calling apps.
