But will anyone use it?
It’s fair to say Google Allo hasn’t exactly been a huge success since it launched last September, but Google isn’t giving up on its new messenger baby yet: the app is coming to the web, according to a tweet from company exec Nick Fox.
The attached picture shows the familiar Allo interface, complete with Google Assistant bot, running inside a web browser. Fox said the image is a « sneak peak » and that the app is « still in development » so we don’t know when we’ll actually get to use it.
Whether or not a web launch for Google’s newest messaging platform will be enough to get more people actually using it remains to be seen – while millions of users have at least given the app a spin, it dropped out of the top app charts on Android and iOS pretty swiftly after the launch.
