Google Now’s ‘Ok Google’ adds WhatsApp, Viber, and WeChat support

Google’s voice-command system expands it reach in your phone further by adding support for some third-party messaging apps. Now, you can talk to the Google Now Launcher to send messages for you on WhatsApp, Viber, and WeChat. You just have to say: “Ok Google, send X message to Y: add message.” X represents the service and Y is the person in your contacts, that contact has to have the same name on your device and the corresponding app though for it to work. So, you can say “Ok Google, send Viber message to dad: Pick up milk today.” The app also adds support for Telegram and NextPlus for voice commands.

Use ‘Ok Google’ anywhere on your Android smartphone

Google has done what they said they would. You can now trigger voice search anywhere on your Android smartphone with a new Google Search update. This new feature is similar to what you can do with a Moto X but now it is available for all Android phones. Just say “Ok Google” when your screen is on and tell Google Now what to do. You can even activate the feature from the lock screen.

Just head to Google Now and select the menu at the bottom right of the phone and then tap on Settings, then Voice, and then select “Ok Google” Detection. According to Gizmodo, this feature is rolling out phone by phone. We’ve tested it on the Nexus 5 and it seems to be working already. Just be a bit patient if it hasn’t landed on your Android just yet.

Android tipped to get voice command capability everywhere

Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S5 users are currently limited to using the "Ok Google" command on the homescreen of their devices. But Google is reportedly working on a way to bring the voice command feature everywhere on your Android device. Similar to what the Moto X does, your device will listen and respond to your voice and respond to what you have running. For example, if you are looking through photos, you can tell Google to "share this photo" with someone. It is still a rumour at the moment but an extremely handy feature if ever it does get confirmed.
