Google Allo users need to update the latest Android version of the app before using it on the web. You can access it on the web but only till it is connected with your Android phone. So, if you disconnect on your mobile, Allo on the web won’t work. Also, some features of the app will be available on mobile only. Allo has received many updates so far, this year such as the most recent ‘Like’ reaction button which is similar to that of Facebook Messenger. Along with it, Google had earlier confirmed that Allo will be available in web version soon. Now, the confirmation came from an official tweet from Amit Fulay, Head of Product Google Allo.
