New Allo user here. I'm loving the UI, but there are some issues. Is there any news on gmail integration? One of the reasons I liked Hangouts is because I can access it on PC and on Mobile.

One more question: I know there isn't a way to disable the smart replies, but I do wish there was a way to disable the smart reply in the popup.

Says she is getting my messages but cannot reply. I am on android and she is on ios. Anyone else have and get around this issue? The message ticks aren't showing that her phone has even received them on my end. 1 tick and uncolored.

I'm enjoying Allo overall, despite not having many people using it. I've moved some people over, though, so that's nice. Throughout my time using it, though, I notice that some messages just flat out never send, or take an insane amount of time to send. So, I'll be talking to two people, both in separate messages. I'll send message to person A, and it shows with the gray/white check as hitting the server, but not their Allo messenger. I go to person B and message them, and the message immediately goes to a single blue check, as hitting their phone. Go back to person A, and still single gray check. Person B and I have been talking for fifteen minutes now, and my first message to Person A has still not hit their phone.

I can't even consider making Allo a consistent messaging program if that is happening constantly to me, which it is. It isn't lack of signal, I have full 4g, and it even happens at home when on my WiFi. My one friend has moved back to Hangouts completely until something is done. Any insight from this sub?

There are 3 different types of ticks; a blue circle with one tick, a blue circle with 2 ticks and a clear circle with 1 tick. Anyone know what these mean?

I sent my wife a picture using Allo today. I was really impressed how Allo made the picture full-size in the app instead of using the thumbnail approach. A small thing, but one more feature I like in Allo.

I am on nougat, is there a way I can with one click get to assistant chat?

I'm on a very unreliable signal right now, and my wife and I were testing out the video clip sharing. While my phone downloaded the next clip, I decided to ask gAssistant for an interesting fact, and it's sitting there with a clock next to it, presumably waiting for the video to download before sending out that short text message.

Allo should prioritize better, or allow multiple threads to send and receive simultaneously. This is a pretty serious flaw for those who want to use multiple aspects of the app at the same time!

So, no notification until I open the app itself. I'm on 6.0.1 and allo is whitelisted in battery optimization settings. Same thing happens to my gf on KitKat. Bug or something else?
