In honor of all of the hard-working mothers and for Mother’s day, Google Assistant is picking up a handful of new and useful features. First, off, you’ll officially be able to utilize the popular Broadcast feature outside of your home to send quick voice announcements to family members! Previously, this feature was only possible on Nest devices, but now it’s expanding to Android and iPhone.
Basically, all you’ll need to do is say “Hey Google, tell my family ___________” or “Hey Google, broadcast ____________”. Then, that message will be announced to the members of your household at home (meaning those in your Family Group) over Nest speakers and smart displays and even to their phones where they can reply with one tap using smart compose-style answers – I suppose the phone call really us dead.
