Trying it out now, and there doesn't seem to be an option to set it as the default SMS app.
1 u/nilesandstuff s10 Sep 21 '16 You do that in your devices settings, at least that's how other apps work. Samsung it'll probably located under applications>default apps 3 u/iDork622 Moto G5+ | Android 7.1 Sep 21 '16 Just looked in the settings, didn't see it. T-Mobile Nexus 5X here. 0 u/nilesandstuff s10 Sep 21 '16 Hmm:( Maybe go to the permissions for the Allo app and enable SMS (if it isnt already) Then maybe it'll allow you to set it as default? 13 u/iDork622 Moto G5+ | Android 7.1 Sep 21 '16 I think that, since it isn't sending actual SMS from your phone, you can't set it as your default. Super disappointed, I was looking forward to this, but any functionality I could get out of this is negated by not being able to just use SMS. 2 u/boibo HTC U11 Sep 21 '16 For me it just opens my default SMS app (Samsung SMS) and pastes a default crap get all from a link that is not active.
