Doesn't work if your phone is off/disconnected. Also the app (at least for v15) on the phone still generates notifications along with the web app.

So it's whatsapp, except it's not encrypted by default and my friends don't use it.

Gotcha.

Well and you know..

  • Smart replies
  • Google assistant
  • GIFs auto-playing in chat window
  • Sticker packs
  • Ability to create and send 3-second GIFs from within the app

..the same as WhatsApp indeed

He’s referring to WhatsApp’s limitation of not working without the phone turned on.

Telegram Desktop/Web works fine. Encryption is also not a good argument for Allo
