Google Assistant
Google Assistant is available in selected markets and languages only. Where not available, Google Assistant is replaced by Google Search. Check availability at https://support.google.com/assistant. Google Assistant can help you search information online, translate words and sentences, and make notes and calendar appointments, for example. You can use Google Assistant even when your phone is locked. However, Google Assistant asks you to unlock your phone before accessing your private data.
