Google's nascent messaging app Allo has just added another millennial-inspired feature: the ability to predict what emoji or sticker you're going to use next.
Smiley face?
Allo's Smart Smiley button now scans your text and suggests all sorts of emoji or sticker, relevant to the content you're tapping out.
It also works when receiving messages, so you're able to reply with a single emoji, rather than bashing out a wordy missive.
Thumbs up
As part of the update, Google also added a new sticker pack called Fantastic Beasts, based on J.K. Rowling's new film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Finally, you can now make your Allo experience more personal, by choosing your own wallpaper.
The updates are now available on iOS and Android, however predictive emoji is limited to English for now.
