How do I make the new Google Assistant launch from holding the home button?

[owensch1]

When I hold it, it just launches the old OK Google thing and doesn't take me to Google Assistant where you can immediately ask a question using your voice like I've seen in many videos. Here is a pic of what comes up when I hold it right now.

I don't believe the Note 5 has that functionality yet. I believe the S7 Edge may be the only Samsung that does, at the moment.

I don't think assistant is coming till Google rolls out the update to the Google app sometime in the next couple weeks.

So I'm confused, my Google App updated to 6.13 on Feb 27th. Do I have the Google assistant? I don't really see anything different, certainly not what I saw on the Pixel

Its got to be an update to Google services. I dont know how it will or will not work on note 5. But google assistant will only come once there is an update to google services

Also i wont expect same capabilities between phones...they all have different hardware and software capabilities.

Don't have Google assistant in my app store yet. I see they are rolling out assistant this week.

Ok i may have goofed a little. I downloaded Google Allo..... I guess that isn't the assistant I thought it was.

Anybody get it yet???

Not yet

It's to any phone running marshmallow and up so it'll come eventually.

Partially correct. Also needs a min of 1.5 gb ram and 720p screen.

I read somewhere yesterday it will be a few weeks to get it rolled out to all phones that are capable.

It is working like it's supposed to. Assistant isn't available for most phones yet.

Got mine this morning, it's pretty cool I guess so far. I like the daily brief.

Who's your provider? The note 5 right? It's it going to be an update to Google Play correct? An update will show like it does for any other app you have downloaded? Sorry for the questions, I just know nothing about this assistant.

Nevermind, I got it now! I just long pressed the home button and I got a message saying I now have Google Assistant. Nothing to download from the store.
