For the same reason, the development of Google Allo has been on standby for months. Now, according to a source close to the company confirmed by the mediator 9to5Google , Google Allo will sooner or later disappear and thus allow Google to develop another IM application.
In January of this year, the news we received about the future of Google Allo was not entirely hopeful. The company lost the lead in the development of Google Allo and Google Duo, leaving the projects powerless and without a well-defined cycle. Later, we saw how frequently updates and access to new features came into the app, and how users complained about the problems with the application with these updates.
It seems that the whole team responsible for developing Google Allo has abandoned the project and has moved to focus its efforts on applying native messages to Android, although Google has not yet confirmed a specific date for the death of Google Allo.
