Google Assistant Spoken Notifications Change on Pixel Buds

Hey Google Assistant Community, 

Based on your feedback, we are here to announce that we will be making the following changes to your Google Assistant notifications on Pixel Buds while we evaluate further changes to notifications. Assistant will no longer read unread notifications when using the press Assistant feature. Assistant will also no longer read unread notifications automatically and allow you to reply. 

In order to hear notifications, you can activate Google Assistant and say “Read my notifications.”

Thank you for your continued feedback that enables us to improve your experience with using Google Assistant. 

Cheers,

The Google Assistant Team
