According to a recent report by 9To5Google, Google is now introducing new Assistant features. After introducing preference pages for various other Assistant features, the latest brings Google Assistant settings for the Android lock screen.
\nNotably, as per the latest Google Assistant lock screen feature, you will be able to summon the voice assistant even if your phone is locked.
\nMoreover, the new \u201cLock screen\u201d menu option is now grouped under the \u201cPopular Settings\u201d. It will include features such as Voice Match, Languages, and Routines.
\nFurthermore, it will show up the full alphabetical list. On the first launch of this new Google Assistant lock screen feature, you will be greeted with a message about using Assistant without unlocking your Android phone.
\nThe actual message reads,
\n\u201cGet hands-free help from your Assistant when your phone is locked. You can always turn this off in your Assistant settings. For help with personal info, like calling and messaging your contacts, turn on Voice Match and say \u201cHey Google\u201d so your Assistant can recognize your voice.\u201c
\nThis new Google Assistant lock screen feature was spotted on Google app 12.24
\nThe new settings, as already mentioned, will be found under the Popular Settings along with the All Settings tab. You will find the Lock screen settings between the Languages and Personalization settings.
\nBesides, the All Settings tab will show you all the settings alphabetically. After going through the greeting message and hitting the \u201cYes, I\u2019m in\u201d button on the right corner, you will see two new toggles, i.e. Assistant responses on the lock screen and an additional sub-menu.
\nIf you activate the first \u201cAssistant responses on the lock screen\u201d toggle, it will allow Google Assistant to respond to user queries. But this will work, even if the screen is locked. You can activate this feature via corner swipe or power button hold (available on Android 12 only).
\nUsers can activate Google Assistant by simply saying the \u201cHey, Google\u201d command. The next toggle will activate personal results without the user\u2019s need to input the voice command.
\nThe new preference option, surprisingly, replaces the Lock Screen option under the Personalization option. It would be quite useful for users at times when both their hands are occupied.
\nThey can simply activate voice Assistant, even if the lock screen is locked. You can try out the feature with the Google app version 12.24, as it seems like the feature is live for everyone.<\/p>\n
