Waiting for Google Assistant's arrival on your phone?

If you're among those who've been eagerly looking forward to get your hands on Google Assistant then we also have a few tips and tricks for you under our sleeve. Firstly, you have to ensure that your phone runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow or Nougat. Secondly, you need to check that your system language is set to "US English", in case it is not then assign it as the default language for your system. These two are the only requisites to get Google Assistant on your phone.

We must warn you that there are many articles on the internet claiming that you can use some tricks to get the Assistant earlier, but all that's a hoax. You will get the update in a gradual way whenever your phone gets a server side push from Google. Patience is the key here.

Well, not everybody would be looking forward for a major change like Google Assistant on their phones. But we would like to believe that many users would be waiting to try the efficiency of Google Assistant on their Android phone. Good thing is that you can always go back to using Now on Tap and if you happen to like having an AI assistant then the new update would bring you joy.
