Allo and Duo

Google has yet again released another one of its chatting apps. This time two of them  Allo and Duo. They first announced these apps in their google I/O earlier this year. However this time round google decided to make two separate apps for video calling and text messages.

Duo being the app which lets you video chat with your contacts saved on your phone. This of course relies on the numbers that you have saved on your phone or sim and not an account. This is different from google's previous app , hangouts, which let users add their friends through their email as well as their numbers. Also google hangouts was only one app and supported both video calling and text messages.Another cool feature about Duo is that it supports a smooth video calling experience even with a not so high end internet connection and it can switch from wifi to mobile data without dropping the call or any hangs in the call.

Allo however has not been released as of yet but Duo is rolling out on the play store and you can download it of you are in a supported region.
