I appreciate Google not forced all Google customers to install Allo ala Facebook but it's hard not to acknowledge Facebook forcing Messenger on Facebook users didn't achieve their goal of widespread adoption of Messenger.

Facebook Forced you to install messenger? Not only have I not installed facebook messenger, I removed the facebook app and just use the mobile web interface. In chrome for android if I select "Request Desktop Site" I can still get to the messaging part.
Messenger has a billion dau. What are you talking about?
