Google Allo Tips and Tricks

Today we’re here with a bunch of Google Allo tips and tricks to guide and help you with making the most out of the app

Chat Privately with Incognito Mode in Google Allo

All you need to do for a private chat is to start a chat in the Incognito Mode:
  1. Tap the New Chat icon.
  2. Select Start incognito chat option.
  3. Now tap the contact name from the list of people you want to start a chat with.
When enabled, the chat content won’t show in the Allow conversation list. Moreover, the name of the sender or the message content will not display in the Notifications. You can even mute the notification tone for the incognito chat.

SETTING EXPIRY TIME IN INCOGNITO MODE

Incognito mode also allows you to set an expiry time for the chat messages. It means you can choose after how much time your messages should disappear: 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or never.
You can set the message expiry timer in Incognito mode simply by tapping the Timer icon found on the top right corner of the screen.

Integrating Google Assistant in an Ongoing Chat

Do you know that apart from starting a chat with your Google assistant you can integrate within any personal or group chat anytime? To do so,
  1. Start a chat with a contact.
  2. Then type “@google” in the text input field.
  3. After that, you can ask your Google assistant to give you any info.

Making the Text Bigger or Smaller in Allo

  1. Open a conversation.
  2. Tap the text input field.
  3. Type the text you want to make bigger or smaller by tapping the holding theSend button.
  4. You’ll see a vertical slider. Just drag your finger up to make the text bigger, or slide down to make it smaller.

Drawing on Photos and Adding Text to Them in Messages

This is again another interesting feature in Allo. While WhatsApp lets you add a caption to an image, Allow allows you draw on an image and add text to the image itself.
  1. Open the app.
  2. Open a conversation.
  3. Now tap the “+” (add) icon found on the left of the text input field.
  4. Then add an image.

  6. To add text to the image, tap the text icon and then you can type your text on the image.

Search in Messages

You can search for keywords from past messages in Google Allo. This is currently only available on Android devices.
Search all messages
  1. Open the app.
  2. Tap Search icon.
  3. Then type your query word.
  4. You’ll see a list of results from all conversations with the query text highlighted.
Search within a single conversation
  1. Open the app.
  2. Tap the conversation you want to search in.
  3. Tap the profile icon in the upper right corner of the screen and then tap the Search option.
  4. Type the text you want to search.

Find the time When a Message was Sent to You

If you use WhatsApp, you must be aware that the app shows the time for each of the messages in Chats. Google Allo does not do that by default, but there’s still a way you can find out the time when a message was sent to you.
  1. Open Allo.
  2. Tap a conversation.
  3. Then tap a message to know when it was sent to you.
That’s all for now
