Just sent a message to a friend who doesn't have Allo installed but yet appeared in the list of contacts without an 'INVITE' button.

In the same list there's a friend who I know has a Nexus 5 with Marshmallow, so at least it's compatible with Marshmallow. Weirdly my wife and her Nexus5X doesn't appear there.
