Google Assistant is an amazing feature that is available for your Android phone.
There are so many cool features that are added that you can use. Today you will know about some of these less known features of Google Assistant that you should check out.
5 Cool Google Assistant features on Android
Set alarm – Very few people know that you can use Google Assistant to set up an alarm. It is so much easy and quicker than going into an alarm app and setting up an alarm. What you need to do is, just open Google Assistant with the “OK Google” command or by opening the app. There Command, “Set up an alarm for 5 AM” and Google will do it. It will also repeat your Alarm timing, which is a sign that your command has been fulfilled.
Calculator – What saves time is speaking instead of typing. That’s completely true while performing calculations as well. Google Assistant can do that for you.

Setting up a timer – Just like setting up an Alarm, Google Assistant makes setting up a timer very easy. You just need to speak, “Set up a timer for 5 min” and it will be done.
Open an app – Sometimes we just can’t see the app we are looking for because of so many apps being there in the menu. Speak, “Open Evernote” and Evernote will launch immediately. You can open any app in Google Assistant like that.
