The thing, in my opinion, that killed Allo, was not getting SMS right. I have to use Hangouts for SMS. Why on earth would I use Allo? If I can't have one unified inbox, I don't want the app.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoGetting unified messaging "right" is very hard. I don't know if Apple has really solved it either. I recall people having weird problems if they switched away from iPhones because Apple would still try and prefer their own proprietary protocol over SMS. There's like a web portal now to remove yourself from iMessage, right?
- bastawhiz 9y agoI wouldn't be as salty if Hangouts didn't work fine. Hangouts almost totally seamlessly deals with chats and SMS. Allo makes a complete mess of it.
