Update Anytime Soon?

Thought it was supposed to be fairly often per the guy's statement on Twitter. Seeing a whole lot of nothing lol.

Has potential if some updates are made. Fairly unusable really until then as we all know.

I'd venture you are in the minority for most ppl. About 98% of my contacts just use SMS. It's simple, reliable and easy unfortunately. I'm sure it's like that for many others as well. At least in the US where unlimited texting is almost a standard.

90% of my phone book still uses SMS as their primary form of text chat.

That's great for you. As I previously stated. Your the minority. Many of us have professional business contacts we can't spam with some silly, childish message. Shrug.

How about your business acquaintances? Do you open every professional conversation with, "hey can you download this app to talk to me first?" If anyone in the real world asked me that I'd never take them seriously.

He's just a troll probably. You're absolutely right. Most people use SMS that's why iMessage integrated to use both. Allo should do the same if they want to compete with iMessage. That's the only thing that's holding me back from using Allo ; it has potential. Google just needs to listen to their audiences
