If so, list your carrier and date update received! Patiently waiting for Google Play Services update...

Is it just going to come with a regular general app update?

Is it just going to come with a regular general app update?

"The transition will take a few days to complete, since it involves receiving an updated version of Google Play Services, but once it rolls out it will be the single biggest update to Android in years that didn't have to be approved by a phone manufacturer or carrier. "

Google Assistant is now available on hundreds of millions of Android phones | Android Central

Most likely your phone will notify you when the update is available.

Hopefully better than it did with the useless AOD update a few months back. If I hadn't seen it on here and went to manually check I wouldn't have known the update existed.

Like most things in the Android world it will go out in stages (as said a few posts above this). .

i just got an update to my google app. It wasn't the google assistant though.

I rec google assist
I'm on at&t and I rec it today
It came with the google app update in google play store. After update installed... I held down the home button on phone and the phone prompted me to set up google assistant.

That's weird, I received a Google app update today but I still have Google Now.

It's not the app that has to update -- more so Google Play Services.

I do realize that sir. In fact I signed up for the Google Play Services beta today thinking that may give me access to Google Assistant, no such luck. What I meant is the poster I was commenting to said that they received Google Assistant right after they updated their Google app and I myself thought that was weird because that is not how it works. I was just trying to be nice

Nothing yet. Carrier doesn't matter. It'll come through the play store as an app update. But I'm on Verizon. I also have an axon7 on project fi (T-mobile), with nougat. Nothing on that yet either.

Both of my S7 Edge phones on Nougat have assistant now. T-Mobile here but the update came though the play store.

My unlocked US S7 Edge on MM has it also now.

Hello, could you tell me what type of update it was? Was it a Google Play Services update or a different update? Thanks!

It's in the play store. Look for the Google app and update it if there is an update. My Note 5 also has it now.

When you long press on the homescreen do you get something similar to the attached screen shot or is it different?

That's it exactly.

Ok, that is Google Now which we have all had for a while. Google Assistant will look much different. It should come via a Google Play Services update

Ok, I assumed that was it because someone else posted the same screenshot thinking that was it.

It will look a bit different and have better functionality. Google is rolling it out very slowly in stages. In fact I have not heard from anyone on any device that has received it yet. That's why I was like wow you got it on 3 devices already. I just wanted to confirm for myself that's all.
