Google Allo is an application with which Google tries (unsuccessfully so far) to compete with WhatsApp. And like the popular application, it has also decided that the time has come to transcend the mobile phone to other environments.
For this reason, the application has just presented its versión web, which will allow you to use the messaging tool from your computer.
This is the web version of Google Allo
only for android
The main downside that we can get out of this new web version of Google Allo is that you can only use it if you have a Android mobile. In the case of using another operating system, you will not be able to enjoy this web client.
Functions similar to WhatsApp Web
The web version of Google Allo is, in terms of how it works, very similar to the WhatsApp web client.
Thus, once we access, we will be able to see on our computer screen a unit’s QR code that we must scan with our smartphone. At that time we can start using the application.
It will be necessary, therefore, that we have a mobile phone at hand to be able to use the web client. This is not the case, for example, with Google Hangouts, which has an application for PC that is totally independent from the one for Android.
Only from Chrome
Another problem that you can find in the web version of Google Allo is that you can only access it from your Chrome browser. If you use another browser, when you try to access the web you will find a message that tells you that you have to go to the Google software, so that the web version is available.
This is part of Google's strategy to promote the use of Chrome, preventing the use of its new services from other browsers. This ensures that users do not opt for the competition, logical right?.
Try the web version of Google Allo
As we have mentioned before, to be able to enjoy Google Allo in its web version, you need to have of an Android mobile and a PC with the Chrome browser.
In order to scan the QR code that allows you to access the web version of the application, you will have to access the following link:
