The Google Assistant allows us to communicate with our phone using voice commands. Just say “Ok google”Followed by the order or action that we want to carry out so that the voice assistant gets down to work. Today, we review some of the most useful commands.
Remember that although the voice command assistant is present mainly on Android, we can also use it with Google Home, and even with the web version of the personal assistant of the guys from Mountain View.
OK Google: the most practical Google Assistant commands for Android and Google Home
Google's personal assistant keeps adding new voice commands all the time. This means that it is practically impossible to mention them all. However, there are some commands that are really practical, and that we can start using from this moment.
Finally, clarify that the wizard accepts multiple variants of the same order. For example, we can say “Open the camera", but also "Open the camera for me", Or"Open camera”.
