Google Assistant - "hey Google" - where are you?

[claykin]

I'm on the Oreo beta. Also running Google app beta. I don't seem to have the "hey Google" option. Anyone else?

Tried all the usual fixes and none seem to bring out the new voice option.

Didn't have the "hey Google" option on my S8 running Oreo Beta or my current S8 Plus.
Google Beta installed on both. Had an update to Google beta yesterday so thought that may have enabled it. Nope.

Maybe we need to get off the beta?

Unavailable on non-beta for me as well

Hmmm. Google punishing Samsung for Bixby?

We're all able to use OK Google. Talking about earlier news that a user would be able to say "Hey Google" instead. The 'Hey Google" is what seems not to be universally available.
