Using Voice Commands - Can Speakerphone be Activated?

[Gustavo Marques]

Hi everyone,

I have yet to find an answer to this anywhere, so hopefully someone is able to shed some light on this....

Can the speakerphone be activated using voice commands?


Let me give an example:
Let's say I'm in the kitchen and my hands are filthy. I have a question about what I'm cooking and want to call Grandma to get her advice (everyone's grandma is a pro in the kitchen, right?). I say "OK, Google Now. Call Grandma."

At this point the phone will place the call, but my hands are still filthy. If there is not a way to enable speakerphone using voice controls, then I still have to wash my hands and pick up the phone in order to have the conversation. This essentially renders the hands-free controls useless for similar situations where I want to place a call.


I would really love if there was some way to do this. Does anyone know if this has been discussed? Is it possible?

Man, you must go to Settings >Touchless Control and check "Auto Speaker Phone" option.

Yes you can. Just say "call XYZ on speakerphones"

There is an app called "newcar" it works pretty well.

I went to my Google assistant and said "Call mom with speakerphone" and it worked.
