\"Google<\/p>\n

Want to be able to quickly launch Google Assistant<\/a> and perform your searches with it? Enable an option on your iPhone or Android phone, and then all you will have to say is \u201cHey Google\u201d or \u201cOk Google\u201d to launch the virtual assistant. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

On Android phones, the hotword to launch Google Assistant is \u201cHey Google,\u201d whereas on iPhone, it\u2019s \u201cOk Google.\u201d Both use the same Google Assistant app, though.<\/p>\n

Why Enable \u201cHey Google\u201d<\/h2>\n

One major reason to enable \u201cHey Google\u201d is that you can invoke Google Assistant from anywhere on your phone. Whether you\u2019re browsing a website, listening to songs, or watching a video, just say the hotword and the assistant will open ready to answer your queries.<\/p>\n

Later, if you don\u2019t want to use the \u201cHey Google\u201d hotword anymore, you can turn the feature off on your phone.<\/p>\n

Turn On \u201cHey Google\u201d on Android<\/h2>\n

To activate \u201cHey Google\u201d on your Android<\/a> phone, you\u2019ll use the official Google app.<\/p>\n

Start by launching the Google<\/a> app on your phone. At the top-right corner of the app, tap your profile icon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the profile menu, tap \u201cSettings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Choose<\/p>\n

On the \u201cSettings\u201d page, tap \u201cVoice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

From the \u201cVoice\u201d menu, choose \u201cVoice Match.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll land on a \u201cHey Google & Voice Match\u201d page. Here, in the \u201cThis Phone\u201d tab, turn on the \u201cHey Google\u201d option.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> In the future, to turn off \u201cHey Google\u201d on your phone<\/a>, disable the \u201cHey Google\u201d option.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Activate<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s it. From now on, no matter what app you\u2019re using, say \u201cHey Google\u201d to launch the Google Assistant on your phone. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

To do so, first, open the Google<\/a> app on your iPhone. In the app\u2019s top-left corner, tap your profile icon.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> In the future, if you\u2019d like to disable \u201cOk Google,\u201d then toggle off the \u201cOk Google hotword\u201d option.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And you\u2019re all set.<\/p>\n
