- Allo is tied to your phone number, and even needs your phone to use the web version. Hangouts is tied to your Google account, so is portable and functions well on any device. Plus video is split from Allo into Duo, but Hangouts incorporates both, plus SMS and phonecalls. samnordberg • Nov 2017 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees

When I receive texts, I am bad about responding right away. Allo allows me three possible responses to the message. Sometimes, the suggestions aren't always perfect, but usually, they are. I can share quick gifs that appear in circle bubbles for the other person to see or just a picture or video with typed or hand wrote messages on them. It has a fun sticker maker that uses a cartoon-like image of you to use in responses to others.
