To set up your Android phone with "OK Google" (also known as Google Assistant's voice activation), follow these steps:
-
Open the Google Assistant app: Locate and open the Google Assistant app on your Android phone or tablet. If you don't have it, download it from the Google Play Store.
-
Access Assistant settings: Once the app is open, say “Assistant settings.” Alternatively, tap on your profile picture, then settings.
-
Navigate to Hey Google and Voice Match: In the "Popular settings" section (or a similar section related to voice activation), find and tap on "Hey Google and Voice Match."
-
Turn on Hey Google: Toggle the switch to enable "Hey Google". You might be prompted to train the assistant to recognize your voice. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the Voice Match setup. This involves saying "OK Google" and "Hey Google" a few times, which helps the assistant learn your voice and respond accurately.
By completing these steps, your phone should now be set up to respond to the "OK Google" or "Hey Google" voice commands, allowing you to interact with Google Assistant hands-free.
