Now, with Google’s Ok Google (Assistant) App, things became much easier for us to search. you can use Ok Google voice commands to send messages, get help with trivia questions, and, yes, you can even find out “weather forecast in your city!”

And, with the latest update from Google, the voice assistant’s response will sound more natural than ever. Google voice commands make your things much simpler than typing all your queries on your smartphones.

There are two ways to say a command.

• With newer Android devices, just say “OK Google,” followed by a question or task. For example, if I wanted to know the weather, I could say “OK Google, what’s the weather report today?” and immediately Google Now would provide the forecast.
• Tap on the microphone button in the Google search bar, and skip the “OK, Google” portion of the conversation. If the search bar isn’t on a home screen, swipe right from the primary home screen to see Google Now.

If “OK, Google” isn’t working for you, make sure that the feature is enabled. Head to the Google Now app, go to Menu > Settings > Voice > “OK Google” detection.
