Assistant is a server side change.

Both mine and my wife's came through. And funny, just a day after I learned how to make Cortana my default assistant. LOL

Doesn't appear that Google Assistant plays nice with Moto voice. If you press and hold the home button you can use assistant. But if you try from any screen by saying OK GOOGLE, it doesn't pick it up because Moto voice is active and using the microphone. So to use Google Assistant press and hold home button then talk to it. Not perfect but works....?

Still nothing on mine. I'm beginning to feel left out. My wife got it on her Moto Z a few days ago, and my co-worker on his Z Force, but not mine. I read that most of the U.S. should have gotten it. I don't know if something could be wrong with mine? The phone's working fine in every aspect as far as I can tell. I've been getting regular app updates but not assistant. Just have to wait and see I guess.

Finally got it yesterday. I was looking through different settings and realized my language was set to English U.K. I never touched the language settings so I don't know how it got that way. Anyway, I changed it to English U.S. and about an hour later Assistant showed up.

Can anybody who has received the update confirm that they have OK Google turned off ? I use Moto Voice and have OK Google turned off in my Google settings. I'm still waiting to receive my Google Assistant update, and I doubt this would have anything to do with it, but just curious...

I use Moto voice. With Google Assistant on my phone now, it automatically activates Google Voice for using Assistant. I know this because I turned off Google Voice and it's turned back on the next time that I look in Google voice settings. However, this does not interfere with Moto voice. When I say "ok Moto Z" and ask a question I get the same results as before having Assistant on the phone.

The latest security update screwed up my Bluetooth and now Google Assistant screwed up my Moto voice.

I'm really getting sick of these so called "improvements" 😤

Another factory reset...... thanks Google 😕👎
