You\u2019re able to call upon it whenever you need to have something done. Third-party developers were able to develop products for the Nest Hub that use the assistant. However, those are going away, according to 9To5Google.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s great when Google Assistant can utilize first-party Google services, but third-party developers were also able to use the powerful voice assistant. They were able to create different books and activities that require speaking as a method of input. Some examples are picture books and family activities like quizzes and trivia.<br \/>\nHowever, Google is killing third-party voice support for Nest Hub devices<br \/>\nThis is a disappointing bit of news for people who utilize these apps and games. Last year, almost to the day, Google announced that it was going to end support for these applications. The company gave us a one-year window, and that one year is up.<br \/>\nThe reason for Google doing this is simply this: people just weren\u2019t using these games. While this is a neat idea, it just wasn\u2019t able to capture the public attention. There\u2019s hardly any reason in keeping these services alive if no one is using them. Maybe something like this will catch on down the road, but, for the time being, it just didn\u2019t get much traction.<br \/>\nThere may be a bit of good news, however. While this functionality is leaving the Nest Hub, developers may still be able to bring their apps and games to other platforms. Google is working on allowing third-party Android apps to access Google Assistant.<br \/>\nThis means that those developers who are developing for the Nest Hub may be able to move their applications to smartphones. This will definitely not be a one-to-one comparison, but it may find some success in tablets. They have a similar form factor to the Nest Hub, and they may be more convenient because they can be moved around. Hopefully, we will see this in the near future.<br \/>\nThe post Google kills 3rd-party Assistant apps and games on Nest Hub appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Nest-Hub-2nd-Review-3.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the main reasons to use the Google Nest Hub is the tight integration with Google Assistant.
