"Stranger Things" is a story of a young boy, Barb who mysteriously disappeared. It features how his friends attempt to find him while an evil government agency covers up for everything. This horror series is beautiful and nostalgic. It deserves every bit of buzz it has been receiving. The "Stranger Things" Season 2 will be launched in a few months.
Google Allo is a mobile phone app available on iPhones and Android devices. Google Allo was just released in 2016. It is a messaging app and virtual assistant rolled into one. Cool stickers can be used while messaging. Handwritten notes can be incorporated on the messages sent to the users' friends. With Google Allo, users can ask queries and give voice commands. It has a feature where users can see whether their messages were sent, received or read by its recipients. Google Allo is a neat smart phone application. However, it could not be downloaded on tablets or PCs.
The "Stranger Things" sticker pack is a new application that can be used in the Google Allo messaging app. There are 24 stickers included in the pack. The stickers are aimed for kids which is apparent, by just the look of it. The stickers showcase the leading characters of the show including Demogorgon and Dungeons & Dungeons dice. The stickers are now available on both iOS and Android.
Meanwhile, it was reported by Independent that the Google Allo app records all conversations as revealed by Edward Snowden. He said that anyone who has the Google Allo app must never use this again and should promptly delete this app.
On the other hand, Google Allo can use a feature which is the incognito mode. However, this option could not assure its users if they would really get the privacy they want.
