Google Assistant is one of the best virtual assistants today, it provides many useful functions that are extremely practical in everyday life. It has the ability to learn to pronounce names correctly, it can send voice notes and much more. However, to get the most out of it, there are some commands that cannot be overlooked.
The commands allow you to do everything from looking up your cell phone to ordering a pizza.
Sometimes it’s a bit overwhelming to know which is the right command for each task, but the truth is that only a few are really important. Here we will give you those commands that really make it possible for Google Assistant to become your best ally.
– Find mobile: if you have a connected Google Home speaker in your home, such as the Nest Mini, you can ask it where the smartphone is and it will ring it. Best of all, it works when the phone is in silent or “Do Not Disturb” mode.
– Opening apps by voice: in case you can’t manipulate the mobile, you always have the option to run an app by voice command. Just say, for example, “Ok, Google, open Gmail”, it also works with third-party apps, which makes it even more useful.
– Read web pages aloud: when an article is open in the browser, just say “Hello, Google, read this page”. In this way, Google Assistant will narrate the content of the portal out loud so you can listen to it comfortably anywhere.
– Search for images: you can ask the wizard to perform a search for a particular set of photos, be it landscapes, animals, movies, etc. It will work with any type of image, so there is nothing to worry about.
– Tips on where to eat, shop or drink: thanks to GPS, Google Assistant has the ability to recommend the best places in an area. Just tell it to “show you the closest restaurants to your location” and Assistant will do all the work. You will get a complete list with star ratings of the establishments.
– Play shows and movies: all you have to do is require the assistant to start playing your favorite content. You can be specific with the command, for example, “Ok, Google, put Stranger Things on Netflix”. This simple function will prevent you from wasting time searching for what you want to watch.
