Google Assistant.

 

After trying out various assistants such as Cortana and Siri I found they could sometimes be a little hit and miss and I mostly used them for initiating a call, dictating a text and sending it or setting an alarm or creating a Reminder or Calendar entry. 

 

Looking forward to trying this one. 

 

Do you use these assistants for similar reasons ?

 

Do they come in handy in the car for hands free usage reasons ?

When you press your home screen Google assistant should look like this

Have you added a picture ?

 

The more I snoop around my settings the more I'm thinking it's not the Assistant.  :Sad_face:

Hi BandOfBrothers,

Could you send a screen shot of it if possible? Tried to post one of mine but it won't let me post it for some reason.

Hi @Stevie1

 

Sorry for my delay in replying. 

 

Been enjoying the sun with my grandchildren. 

 

The forum would stop a person from posting a picture that's too big a file or for new members the image has to be moderated. 

 

After looking I think it's the Ok Google I've still currently got.

As much as I love asking my phone anything
(On my own😉) I find it is a battery hog

Hi BandOfBrothers,

When you press the home screen and if you see the Google search box at the top of the screen and 5 boxes at the bottom with reminder, event, timer, alarm, work, and some more under them with restaurants, cafes, ext then that's Google OK.

If it's just a white box which will pop up from the bottom of your screen with the Google Assistant logo on it you have assistant

Hope this makes sense.

On long pressing my Home Button I see...
