Wouldn’t you like it if your Google Assistant suddenly becomes limitless and can find devices from other companies? You would be glad to know that this new trick from Google Assistant can break down this imaginary wall with Apple and can find your iPhone.
Some of the other new features that have been included in the services of Google Assistant include streamlined take-out orders, global sunrise and sunset routines, and different pre-created routine templates to choose from.
Google Assistant has upped its ante in intelligence and has inculcated few methods that allow it to toy nicely with the iPhones and create routines in an easier way.
If you have Google Assistant at your home, then you can command the Google-designed smart speaker to “find” ( or “ring”) your iPhone even if your beloved phonic device has been put on silent or on “do not disturb.” However, you must know the caveat that you have to go inside your iPhone setting first to enable this feature.
In one perspective, it might seem like a futile feature, but it is useful nonetheless. And, it is indeed an upgrade from the previous feature. Remember when Google Home could comprehensively make a call on your phone, but it could not override the silent settings. This new feature from Google Assistant is a splendid and very welcome step towards the Internet of Things-powered smart home and comforting interoperability in the technology ecosystem.
Google Assistant’s ability to bypass the “Do not disturb” or “silent mode” in iPhone is yet another addition to the list of features such as Apple Music integration in Google Home and Google helper feature in iPhone that enables the two giant technologies to work in-coherence.
Let us take a short look on what other things Google Assistant can do nowadays.
Other New Features
1) It can create routines without human intervention by utilizing the latest pre-created templates.
Smart home routines are a stellar addition when we speak about home automation and making the whole thing delightful, but ask any user, and they would tell you that it is a tedious task to create a Smart home routine.
Google attempts to streamline and let the user create routines in an easier way, following in the footsteps of Amazon after it did the same thing with Alexa.
Google has also included the “suggested actions” feature in the Assistant app right under the bar titled “Ready Made Routines.” You can add actions, and if you are using an Android phone, you can include the shortcut of “suggested actions” on your home screen. You can also add a sunrise or sunset routine to plan your day according to the solar event.
2) Google Assistant can even speed up specific online orders.
A new feature called “Google Duplex” can use the internet to make online reservations and buy movie tickets if you are busy with some other tasks. This speeds up the process and avoids human intervention in mundane tasks. However, you should be careful with the payment details as it is not advisable to mindlessly fill in all of the payment credentials in Google Assistant as it can be prone to attacks.
The new features have been added from Wednesday onwards, and it lets you order food automatically from the restaurants that have a tie-up with Google. All you need to do is log on to your phone connected with Google Assistant, and then press the option titled “Order Online” to initiate a take-out order, and then you can fill in your order before clicking on “Check Out.” Then, you can sit back and relax as Google Assistant will automatically order your food after going through the restaurant’s details and filling in your billing and contact information.
Conclusion
The new features are fantastic if you like interoperability, and Google Assistant’s ability to navigate through the “silent” and “do not disturb” features also helps save a user a lot of time. AI-driven ability to automatically order foods and a less-tedious way to create routines from the templates have also been a stellar addition.
