I have not noticed such a glitch. However, when being in a discussion with anyone in Allo and you make a search using the assistant, results will be visible to all participants. Even if you type: my location. I only use it with Erich Hurban and what bothers me every time I make a search within a discussion, is that I get the results in German because that's Erich's language and not in English which is the language used inside the discussion. I haven't noticed any other weird behavior in the app, to be honest.

I've also only used Allo with one person and even then we've defaulted back to Hangouts because Allo doesn't always share well. That is, when sharing an article or image, Allo doesn't always attach them to the message from the share feature on Android.

I almost never use Google Assistant, though. Being older than a millennial means I like being able to think for myself.

I'm older than a millennial too. Available takeout restaurants nearby though, has been of great help on Sundays. :D
