Allo developer hints at SMS support, other highly-requested features possibly coming to the app
Co-lead for Allo, Justin Uberti, has posted a list of highly-requested features for Google's new messaging app on his Twitter page. Ending the short publication with “That's all I can say (zipper-mouth emoji),” it wouldn't be too far-fetched to assume that Mr. Uberti is probably not just tweeting this at random with the intent of informing us what customers of Allo want the most, but rather to hint at what's coming in the near future.
Knowing Google, we were not all that surprised, albeit generally disappointed, by Allo's limited functionality at launch. It is nothing out of the ordinary for the Big G to launch a service in beta-like status and improve on it with time, and we'd be willing to bet that all these features Mr. Uberti tweeted about, if not more, will be coming to Allo in the following months. Here is the tweet in question:
