How do I open Google Assistant on Google Pixel?

To open Google Assistant on your Google Pixel, you can use a couple of straightforward methods.

Opening Google Assistant

Here's how to activate Google Assistant on your Pixel phone:

• Touch and Hold the Home Button: This is the most common method. Simply press and hold the home button at the bottom of your screen.

• Say "Hey Google": If you have voice activation enabled, you can simply say "Hey Google" or "Ok Google." Your Pixel will listen for the command, even when the screen is off in some cases, depending on your settings.

What Happens Next?

Once activated using either method:

1. The Google Assistant interface will appear.
2. You can then ask a question or give a command. For example, "What's the weather today?" or "Set an alarm for 7 AM."

Enabling "Hey Google" Detection

If saying "Hey Google" doesn't work, you may need to enable voice activation. Here's how:

1. Open the Google app.
2. Tap your profile picture or initial > Settings > Google Assistant.
3. Tap "Hey Google & Voice Match".
4. Turn on "Hey Google". You might need to follow the on-screen instructions to train Google Assistant to recognize your voice.

By following these steps, you can easily access and utilize the power of Google Assistant on your Google Pixel device.
