Google Assistant on your marshmallow device, anybody yet?

[slimchap]

That seems to have been true for me. I've only had my unlocked LG G5 a little less than 2 weeks, received the 2017-01-01 security patch right after phone purchase and a few days later I accidentally pressed the home key a few seconds and Google Assistant appeared. I'm pretty sure it installed after an app update.

Yes it does install after an app update not the server switch that people are saying

I don't have anything on my phone that Google can help me with.

I have no social anything, and I have programs that provide the lookups I need.
For instance:
Wildflower
color
shape
number of petals
leaves
type

you get the drift. Google would just throw up what it thinks I want rather than my Wildflower app which does ask pertinent questions.

Same for astronomy.

I don't do maps on the phone. I don't shop in town if I can avoid it. Google only gives local answers by zip code.

I don't lock the phone. Bluetooth, NFC disabled. Only apps I use and none are personal except text, and I prefer Chomp.

All these programs have exceedingly large databases. Some will not update over phone data, you need wifi.

I have birding apps. I'd like the program to open before the bird flies away. That's speed.

Are you using a phone from the future?

Nope. Moto X Pure. I just use the phone my way. I birdwatch, like to take pictures of flowers, so I have identifying apps for flowers and my camera manual in PDF format on the phone. It saves my back from having to carry a backpack full of nature books.


BTW - I BUY all my apps unless they don't have a way to purchase.

None of the so-called assistance can do anything for me.

Which cat threw up? Where are the cats? Where did I leave my glasses? What happened to the instructions for the project I was planning to start?

I know where to find help with a car problem, phone problem; where to find a recipe, etc.
I can program my own DVD recorder (we are OTA and Roku only) Tend to bills and correspondence on a Linux computer. Why do I need an assistant? I need a maid. I need someone to clean the cat pan. The cats don't like the self clean ones.
