Get your voice assistant working again
Google Assistant Not Working Android? "Hey Google" Here's the Fix!
Most modern Android smartphones let you access the Google Assistant by simply saying the phrase “OK Google” or “Hey Google” — much the same way you can say “Hey Siri” on an Apple iPhone.
It is a very useful feature. For example, you can make calls or open specific apps while your hands are busy with something else, like driving.
Sometimes, often after an hourly app or Android version update, OK Google will just stop working. This can be a real pain if you use the feature often, but figuring out why it’s stopped working isn’t that easy. So if your phone is suddenly giving you the silent treatment, here’s how to figure it out.
