Both of Google's new Assistant powered apps, Allo and Duo are up for pre-registration on the Play Store. These new messaging apps were the star of I/O 2016.
With Allo, Google wants to take Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp head-on. There's Google search built-in with rich messaging options, including stickers and an incognito mode with end-to-end encryption, which deletes chats as soon as the window is closed.
Duo is a video calling app which lets you see what the other person is doing even before picking up a call. Both of these are mobile apps, and would use your phone number to sign in.
Allo and Duo will be coming this Summer, and by pre-registering you will get a notification when the apps become available. Head over to the registrations link below.
