Today at I/O, Google debuted its new chat app, ‘Allo‘ as well as a companion app (for video) ‘Duo.’

Duo is lightening-quick, encrypted and works on both iOS and Android. The team worked with WebRTC to create a new protocol that allows for instant creation of an encrypted connection, a feature that keeps you from answering the call only to be faced with a blank screen while you wait on both ends’ video feeds to catch up.
