Allo and Duo should be tied to your Google account NOT phone number SMH. So while we both have compatible devices and Gmail accounts, I now still have to use a Microsoft service (Skype) to communicate with her! Google dropped the ball on this big time. I was hoping I could use Allo and Duo to communicate with her but I can't because she doesn't have a phone number.
My daughter who has a WiFi only iPad always uses iMessage and FaceTime with her friends and she doesn't have a phone number. This was a perfect opportunity for Android to match iMessage and FaceTime which are tied to your Apple ID while also able to communicate with phone numbers. This is a very stupid idea on Google's part.
Hangouts is more useful because you can communicate with more Android users because it was tied to your Gmail account while Duo is tied to your phone number which limits your audience to friends with phone numbers in your address book.
