Google Assistant Update for S7 (where is it?)

[left4dead]

Reading that Google Assistant is now available on devices running MM 6 and N 7.

I received an update today for the Google Search app - but I don't see Google Assistant.

Has anyone received the GA update on their S7/S7 Edge yet?

It's the same place as Nougat for Verizon phones.

Press and hold the home button and see which pops up.

They just started rolling out today. Not everyone will receive it all at once.

It's not even in the new play services beta

Signed up for the beta thinking I would get it. I was wrong. About to leave the beta now.

What is the app that pops up (and has for MANY MONTHS) when long-pressing the HOME button? It's from Google. If in an app instead of the home screen, it comes up with contextual info.

This.

ah, yes, thanks guys. Google is confusing--just look at Chromecast, which is now "Home".

It's Google Assistant Soon. (not Google Assistant Now)

How come Google is always so slow with updates?

They aren't slow? They just announced it yesterday and even said it would go in batches... I am not sure where everyone's expectation of "batches" means "every single phone right now" ? It will come in a few days at most for people. You didn't have it before and most didn't care about the Assistant on the Pixel (I remember people down-right bashing it) but now it is a must have? I guess I don't get it lol .

I really just want it to compare it to cortana. If I can't ask it questions and get verbal responses, I won't be using it.

I just asked my iPhone "hey Siri, do you like Google Assistant?" and got a polite rebuff...

 

[Lowgybear3]

Google said it would go out in batches.. But I have yet to see ANYONE who has it yet. Guess the first batch isn't out yet?

 

[LineKill]

Has anyone with other devices, other than Google devices, reported receiving it yet?

I've searched and searched. Didn't find a single report of non-Google devices getting it.

It's been 24 hours since the Google announcement.... not very fast, are they?

When Apple releases a new update, millions of iPhone get it within the first 24 hours.

 

[1812dave]

yes, but an iPhone is an iPhone is an iPhone, and I'm not interested in how Apple rolls out their updates.

of course...

I do not discriminate against smartphones based on their brand names... I own two iPhones (6s and 7 Plus) and two Samsung phones(S7 and S7 edge) Each camp has pros and cons.
