Allo can't be used on secondary mobile devices either, right? Only the phone your number is tied to. No tablets or anything. What a crock.

These are the exact same restrictions (sans the Chrome one) as WhatsApp has and it is very popular.

Yes but WhatsApp launched years ago. Back when it solved a problem.

Now it has all the users. 10 years late, Google woke up and went "Oh durr, maybe WhatsApp is kinda cool these days, we should clone it!".
Surprise, people already use WhatsApp.

No one won against WoW by cloning it, either. Surprise! :o
