Considering the number of chat apps Google owns, one is confused whether Google is over friendly with chat apps or not friendly at all. In the recent development to the chat apps, Google has officially launched the web version of Allo chat app.

Allo is one of the chat apps available under the Google banner, which was released last year for both Android and iOS devices. It is a smart messaging app, which comes with built-in Google Assistant, GIF creator, and sticker maker, besides other usual chat features.
