The Google Assistant app provides another way to launch the Assistant that’s already available on your phone. It allows you to quickly access your Google Assistant with one tap. You can still access your Assistant by pressing and holding down your home button or by simply saying, “Hey Google.”
Remind yourself to send a birthday card, make calls hands free during your commute, and unwind by playing your favorite tunes. You personal Google is here to help. Ask your Google Assistant questions and get things done. Use it anytime, anywhere.
With the Google Assistant, you can:
• Make quick phone calls on the go (“Call Mom”)
• Send text messages (“Text Sara I am running late”)
• Set reminders (“Remind me to buy a birthday gift for John”)
• Take a selfie (“Take a selfie”)
• Set calendar events (“Set a calendar event for dinner with Charlie tomorrow from 7-9”)
• Play music (“Play jazz music on YouTube”)
• Navigate places (“Get me directions home”)
• Weather information (“Do I need an umbrella today?”)
• Receive updates on the latest news (“Tell me the news”)
* Your device must still meet the requirements in order to use the Google Assistant (Google Search v7.11 or higher and minimum memory requirements).
* You do not need this app to use the Google Assistant if you already have the Google Assistant on your device.

User Reviews/Opinion:
- I love Google Assistant. It’s so much better than Siri and Alexa. One of the reasons I chose to buy Google Home and Mini over Amazon Echo and Dot. Then I switched from iPhone to Pixel2 XL (after being an iOS user for 10 years) to take full advantage of Google Assistant. Personally I like Google Assistant much better on Pixel2 XL compared to iPhone app. It’s not perfect but I think it’s the best AI assistant at the moment. Besides several good things about Pixel2 XL, this really makes a huge difference for me when it comes to the iPhone vs Pixel2 XL experience.
- This app is freaking awesome!! It allows you to do just about anything you want in your phone without having to physically do it. Your voice controls your phone with this assistant. I also love the features within the app itself. Games, story telling, jokes & riddles, news updates and so on… its a handy little assistant!! I hope (and expect) the app to continue building and adding additional features and tweaks. Continue making it smarter! PS Google: why not just drop the Google App and focus on this app alone?
- Is the “Hey Google” going to be available for Chromebooks again by chance?? I love everything about Google. Have about every product and tool available for all of my work, school, and personal aspects of life! I will never go back to anything else. To Google: keep innovating and keep dominating! Let me know if you need some ideas since it is impossible to contact you!
