Over the years, we’ve made it even easier to accomplish your tasks with Assistant — thanks, in large part, to your feedback. And in order to keep improving your experience, we’re making a few changes to focus on quality and reliability, ultimately making it easier to use Assistant across devices.
As we continue to make Google Assistant more helpful, we're prioritizing the experiences you love and investing in the underlying technology to make them even better — which means that some underutilized features will no longer be supported.
When we make changes, if you trigger a feature that’s going away, you may get a notification that the feature won’t be available after a certain date. Some features affected include the ability to:
- Favorite, share, and ask where and when your photos were taken with your voice. You can still favorite and share your photos in the Google Photos app and see where and when your photos were taken on your Smart Display and tablet.
- Change photo frame settings or ambient screen settings with your voice. You can still change your photo frame settings in your Smart Display settings.
- Translate your live conversation with someone who doesn’t speak your language with interpreter mode. Translating a single word or phrase from one language to another will still work. Learn about interpreter mode.
- Get birthday reminder notifications as part of Routines. You can still ask your Assistant to set a reminder about birthdays you care about.
- Ask to schedule or hear previously scheduled Family Bell announcements. Learn how to create a Routine.
- Get daily updates from your Assistant, like “send me the weather everyday.” You can schedule updates when you create a custom Routine. Learn how to create a Routine.
- Use Google Assistant on car accessories that have a Bluetooth connection or AUX plug.
