The Google Assistant began as software available to a few, and today it has become a completely inseparable companion of us in many moments. An assistant that usually comes integrated into our phones, but that in specific cases can disappear, to the bewilderment of many. We tell you what to do in those cases and the possibilities that exist to recover it.
It is not something usual or much less, but from personal experience I have had close cases of users to whom an update deleted the Google assistant from their mobile, or at least they thought, because the reality is that it was always there.
What happened to your mobile?
You wake up overnight to find that your phone is no longer responding to your Google Assistant commands, or that Google Lens is no longer working . The worst thing is that that message tells you more or less that this Google app is no longer compatible, and that you wait for future updates, when until a few hours ago everything worked perfectly on your Android phone. Well, it can be due to many causes, but there is one that is more likely to have occurred on your phone, and that has resulted in the disappearance of different Google elements, including the assistant.
You have even noticed that your mobile phone asks you to configure your own voice assistant, as is the case with Motorola, where some of their phones have seen how after an update the Google assistant disappeared and a “Hello Moto” appeared, well If you are experiencing these problems on your phone, it is likely that the Google app has been disabled on it. This may have happened accidentally, or as a result of a software update, and a “grace” from the manufacturer of your terminal.
How to solve it?
Well, the Google Assistant on your phone has not gone anywhere, but was always there. And it is that what happens in most of these occasions is that for some reason that we cannot understand the Google app is disabled. Therefore the solution is simple , re-enable it. For this, what we must do is the following:
- Long press on the Google app icon
- Select the “information” icon
- Click on the “Enable” button on the right
In this way, the Google app will be active again on your Android phone, the Google assistant and its predominant position will be restored, and also the apps related to it, such as Lens, will work again the way they always had. with total normality.
