Allo, the chat app, which was launched last year by Google is rolling out a new update of version number 11 that introduces selfie stickers. Almost similar to Snapchat Bitmoji, the new feature turns your selfie into a personalized sticker pack.

Google announced the feature in a blog post and stated that it uses a combination of neural networks and artwork created by humans to generate your personalized stickers. When you take a selfie from Google Allo, the sticker pack is generated automatically and as per Google 563 quadrillion different combinations of sticker images can be generated from the artwork available in the app.
