5 things you (probably) didn’t know Google Assistant could do
1. Give you voice control
With Google Assistant on your phone or tablet, you can have it open apps for you with just your voice. Simply say, “OK Google, open Calendar,” or another app you want, and Google Assistant will do the work for you.
You can also use it to scroll through apps or access certain tabs or pages within them. If you need to be hands-free while cooking, learning a new skill or even reading while doing the dishes, Google Assistant can help.

2. Find your lost phone
Misplace your phone while out and about, or lose it somewhere in your home? If you have Google Assistant on your phone and at least one other device, it can help you find it.
Here’s what you need for this to work. Your phone needs to be:
- Turned on
- Signed in to a Google account
- Connected to Wi-Fi or have mobile data enabled
- Visible on Google Play
- Location-enabled
- Find My Device is turned on, which is turned on by default after you sign in to a Google Account.
