Google Assistant is now available on iOS
Google announced at
its I/O today that Google Assistant is arriving on iOS devices, as rumors
suggested. The company is launching an app that should appear on the App Store
soon.
Sadly, Assistant
will have limited functionality and will not work so flawlessly as it does on
Android phones. Because of API restrictions, the Assistant will be able to do
only basic stuff such as sending messages and playing music on Spotify, Google
says.
This means that
when the screen is off, “OK Google” will not activate the device and have the
Google app open. Also, Apple is not allowing remap of the Home button so Siri
will stay your primary digital assistant in the future.
Starting today, we're bringing the #GoogleAssistant to iPhones. Whether at home or on the go, your Assistant is here to help. #io17 pic.twitter.com/a6T20HwnU9— Google (@Google) May 17, 2017
