Playing
and Favorite Music
Do you
play music while driving? If yes, then from now on you won’t need to use your
phone to play music on it. As we told you above, Google Assistant can help you
to find and play your favorite music. But, first, you have to tweak some
settings on the Assistant to play music with a voice command.
Here’s
how to set up a music app or service in Google Assistant:
- Open Google Assistant
then hit on the blue color drawer icon.
- Tap the “Menu (three
vertical dots )” button, and press the Settings.
- Go to the Music option.
- Now select a music
service that you use mostly to play songs. Set it as default.
Now
you are done. Try to play a song by saying, “Hey Google, Play Bohemian
Rhapsody,” and then your device will automatically play the song.
Making
Phone Calls
Making
phone calls manually while driving on the highways can cost you your life.
However, with Google Assistant, you can do that just by saying, “Okay Google,
call David.”
Even
though making phone calls while driving can cause a disturbance, so if there is
a severe emergency, then only use Google Assistant to call someone.
Also,
if you are going to use this feature while driving then before using it on the
way to practice and train yourself at home to make phone calls quickly. You may
have to speak out loud and clear to give correct commands.
Reading
and Sending Messages
It is
almost impossible to type messages while driving on busy roads or highways.
With
Google Assistant, you can type and send messages using your voice commands. So
you won’t even have to move your eyes from the road while texting.
Here’s
how to send texts with Google Assistant while driving:
- Speak out, “Hey
Google, send a message to Romeo Charles.”
- If you have more than
one similar contact name, then Google Assistant will ask which one to
call, and you will have to touch the phone manually.
- Now a new tab window
will be opened on your device, and Google will ask you for the message that you want to send. There you have to Speak out your message clearly,
and Google Assistant will type it for you.
- The message will be
automatically sent. You will not require to get off your hands from the
steering in the whole process.
Using
Google Maps Navigation
Say,
“Okay Google, navigate to California” and leave all of your burden on Google
Assistant. It is that easy, seriously. No need to stop the car in order to set
navigation. Just ask Google and it will navigate you.
Adjusting
Volume
Is
your partner saying something but you can’t hear it due to loud music? No need
to get off your eyes from the road, instead of that says, “Hey Google Decrease
the volume by 90 percent.” If you want to increase the volume, say, “Okay
Google, turn up the volume by 100%.” You can adjust your volume by any amount.
