Google Assistant Update for S7 (where is it?)

[DZCALI Khan]

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

All iPhones run the same OS so there will only be one variant of the uod6ated software. Almost every android phone is different meaning multiple variants meaning staged rollout.

Makes sense to me.

Patience guys. From.all the hype, assistant will be worth the wait

It's a staged rollout. Not everyone will get it all at once.

Patience, my friends.

Has anyone with an S7 received it?

As of yet I have not heard from anyone on any device, other than Google devices, having received the update yet. We just need to try to be patient while it is slowly being rolled out.

I haven't heard of any being updated with it yet. All the tech sites that said it would be this past week must have gotten some fake news. Maybe next week then...?

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.

Cortana is fantastic on windows phone but voice activation being disabled for android makes it somewhat pointless to use and more hassle IMO. This said, OK Google needs to work when in sleep mode. Hoping the assistant does. Much more functionality that way, Geez, I mean Apple can make it happen.

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

I've got an axon7 running nougat, an asus zenpad 3s 10 running marshmallow, and my S7 edge running marshmallow. Nothing yet on anything.

Because they've got to update 10s of millions of phones. They can't download to every phone at the same time. Patience, grasshopper.

but after almost 3 days, you'd think that at least someone must have gotten the Google Assistant update and reported it somewhere....

yet, there has been zero people reporting it so far.

This is true ^^ 3 days and I too don't know and havent seen anyone who has gotten the update anywhere on any device.... Maybe theres some issues with the roll out

Or Google could make exceptions and release some non-Google devices to the media(such as AndroidCentral editor) for testing/reviewing?

I also have a Pixel XL and quit messing with assistant really fast. Fun little toy for a few minutes bit massively lacking in functionality so far.

Once installed, can you still use Google Now?

It replaces Google Now. It will perform everything Google Now does, but with additional functionality.

Can Google Assistant sing songs or read bedtime stories like Microsoft Cortana? Just wondering....

does Google Assistant work with the screen off? (like how Apple's Siri works)

Thanks!

 

[Enverdaz]

I don't have it yet either

I read an article yesterday that quoted Google as saying that it could take weeks before it makes it out to everyone.
