Find restaurants offering delivery or takeout: Just say “Hey Google, find restaurants that deliver near me” or “Hey Google, show me restaurants with takeout.”


Snap a selfie: By saying, “Hey Google, take a selfie,” Assistant will open your phone’s front-facing camera and snap a picture on the count of three.


Call or text your best friend: All you need to say is “Hey Google, video call Taylor.” And if I’m running late to our call, I can always just ask Google to send her a text by saying, “Hey Google, tell Taylor I’m running late.”


Share your favorite content: You can easily share things from your phone with friends using your voice, like articles or photos. Simply say “Hey Google, share this with Taylor” and Google Assistant will share that link or image with the person you chose.
