#Allo #App – Media sharing on Allo: GIFs, compression, annotation, and some limitations : When talking to a contact on Google's upcoming Allo messaging application, there are a few different types of attachments you can send.
We've already discussed voice messages and stickers, but you can also share your current location, a photo or video taken instantly with your camera, and also media files taken from your camera roll.
Unfortunately, sending other types of files like music or documents doesn't seem to be possible – at least not with the test preview version of the app that we're basing this information on.
However, there are still several notable aspects to media sharing on Allo that are worth mentioning, especially for those of us who exclusively use WhatsApp or Hangouts.
First, Allo will let you send GIF animations properly. I know Hangouts does it too, but WhatsApp still hasn't gotten around to implementing that for everyone (it's there but hidden from view unless you root your phone and enable it).
When you go to add a media file to any Allo chat, you should see your camera roll containing all photos, videos, and GIFs. The latter animate in the camera roll and then again in the preview window before sending them, and they obviously animate inline within the chat window.
