Final Words

Google Allo has interesting features that make it worth to try the instant messaging app. I have this app installed but none of my friends are actively using it. This is the reason I am also not enjoying its features. Google is also trying its best to make this app interesting and attack more users.

This recent sticker feature is worth to try. It will offer a better experience and you will be able to make your conversation interesting.
