Google updates Allo with smart stickers and themes

After giving us a small sneak peek into the Harry Potter world, Google has now released the latest set of updates to its smart messaging app “Allo”.

Apart from Smileys, chat themes enhanced by a variety of colors and patterns like “watermelon” or “sorbet”, now Google Allo users can also enjoy the exclusive “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” sticker pack, featuring characters and creatures from the upcoming Warner Brothers film.

With Smart Smiley, Google Allo makes it easier to find and send the perfect emoji or sticker based on the topic and sentiment of the conversation. Users just need to tap the Smart Smiley button as they’re typing a message and Allo will suggest relevant emojis and stickers to help finish the thought.

Currently, Smart Smiley will be available in English and Hinglish to start with and will come to more languages over time.

Similar to the Hike messenger app, Google Allo also allows users to download sticker packs. Users can now simply tap on any sticker friend shares in chat to download it directly from the respective sticker pack in the sticker marketplace.

These new features and experiences will begin rolling out starting today.
