For me it's very simple, I don't NEED a new messenger app, whatsapp and facebook messenger cover pretty much all my needs. I could maybe even do without the latter. The only use I had for SMS in the last couple years is only spam, bank and random two factor auths. I like seeing alternatives tho but there is absolutely nothing in Allo that would attract me. I mean... it does look good but Whatsapp is already good enough. And for someone that spends a significant part of their day in front of the computer desktop integration is a must. I really do not understand why they didn't add it. To be honest, I liked Hangouts.
- ihsw 10y agoAgreed on Hangouts. When they removed SMS integration in favor of their new Messenger app, I was saddened. I cannot fathom why they would remove features and retire Hangouts.
- vetinari 10y agoThe SMS integration is still in Hangouts, it's just not on by default.
- ihsw 10y agoI was prompted to install the Messenger app and Hangouts' SMS support was promptly disabled, I thought they removed the feature entirely. I will be switching back to Hangouts and uninstalling the Messenger app, thank you.
