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.

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.

[BandOfBrothers]

Yes it makes sense. 

I don't see those cards however as I toggled them off. 

On long pressing my Home Button I see...

That's Google ok hopefully the next you receive will be assistant.
