What else does Allo offer? Apart from Google Assistant support, Allo is a fairly simple-to-use but feature hungry messaging app. It’s contextual and will remember previous conversations so you can just carry on where you left off last time if necessary. You can type in the chat window to talk directly to Google Assistant, and it’ll provide you with what you require – be it search results or a funny GIF to share with friends. He also is a fan of Magic the Gathering.But that’s not all – much like Facebook’s chatbots, you can talk directly to Google Assistant via text directly in Allo, allowing you to search for movies and more all without leaving the app. He is one of the few people who used Google Stadia, which he misses dearly. In his free time, he loves hiking and spending time with his family. When he's not writing, Zach works as an energy consultant. His current daily driver is a Pixel 7, and he writes all his articles on an HP Chromebook x2 12. Even though the rest of his family has switched to iPhones, he could never do it. Zach's first Android phone was a Motorola Droid Turbo 2 he got in 2016 after switching from an iPhone 5S. He holds a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's in Energy Engineering, giving him unique insight into new renewable energy and battery technologies. Zach loves unique and fun hardware and software tricks as well as green and easily repairable products. You'll find him writing how-to guides on various topics, but you will sometimes see him dabble in other areas. He specializes in Chromebooks, Pixel phones, Google products, and Android apps.

Zach has been a fan of Android for a long time, and he became a freelance writer at Android Police in early 2022.
