Google Assistant on Allo can share personal data if you let it

Sometimes a colleague or friend needs a contact number for you and it’ll take you a few swipes and taps on your device to get that info. Hoping to make it easier for you, Google Allo added a new capability to Assistant on its service. You can ask it to look up upcoming calendar events, contacts, or a flight. It’ll then ask for your permission to share the information. When you press “Share Now,” it’ll then be sent in the chat window you’re in. To get access to this feature, you might need Allo version 6.0.
