Google Assistant announces new features for Mother’s Day
MAY-07: Google has announced new family features for Assistant just in time for Mother’s Day. Google Assistant is getting an improved Broadcast feature, new ‘Family Bell’ reminders, new stories and games. Google has also added a few easter eggs that will be activated when setting a timer on Mother’s Day. Google Assistant users will now be able to broadcast messages to all members across devices using Family Broadcast. This feature will work on smart displays and speakers connected with the Google Family Group. The message will also reach iOS and Android phones, and the receiver can reply by voice or by tapping the reply button.
Google has also updated Family Bell reminders so users can just stay “stop” to end the bell. Users won’t have to say “Hey Google” again. This feature will be available first in English. Family Bell will also now ring across multiple home devices at one time starting today. Google is also expanding Family Bell to eight new languages including Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
