They said summer but seems to be anyone's guess what that means. I'm betting on late august early September.

Bump. Any new info?

If you look up Google allo on Google it shows at 4.8 rating and the number of reviews keeps going up. Weird

That shows the validity of reviews/ratings. I love the "Don't have this app but..." reviews.

It will probably come as default on the next Nexus as the main messaging app so it might make its first appearance when that's released.

Duo is out, so Allo might be here sooner than later... Still summer lasts until the end of september!

Yeah, my thoughts is either when 7 is released (Allo needs stuff in 7.0) or when there new Nexus phones get released.

Either way, adoption of this is going to be very slow because of the reliance on having to run on 7.0. it's going to be a little Nexus-only club for a bit.

Are u sure it needs 7.0? I'm pretty sure all that is needed is android 5.0 or higher

Well, the big get with Allo is that it's basically wrapped around Google Assistant... Which is a 7.0 only feature.

It should work without 7 since it is supposed to roll out for the iPhone a well.

I see no rating for Allo on the Play Store, just an option to register to be notified when the app is released.

Might need to be viewing it on the Play Store website:



Though there are only 62 reviews so I don't think it's signalling anything right now.

Has anyone heard anything new? I feel like they should've released this before duo.

No real news besides the recent leaks of features from Android Police.

As far as date goes, it seems that some rumors point to next Monday simply based off the recent releases (Duo last Monday, 7.0 this Monday) or when Android 7.1/MR1 comes out.

It seems like Allo is trailing behind Duo because the Google Assistant isn't available yet. It's rumored to launch with MR1 which could be a couple months, which also means Allo could be sitting on the boilerplate until then.

I really expected Allo and Duo to be released together. Releasing them separately, and specially Duo before Allo runs against the point of the apps. Of course, I know delays happen in software, but I would have certainly delayed Duo to be released after Allo...

I wonder what the hold up is? Like will we see it before October,?
