You can now use the Google Voice Search Assistant in Google Chrome on Android and not for a moment. The move saves Chrome users from the dull voice recognition you’ve been forced to deal with before.
The Google Assistant is more convenient and integrates your in-app Chrome searches into the wider functionality of the wizard cross-app. Google Assistant accuracy is also better. It can recognize multiple languages by default, so multilingual users no longer have to wear and tear their system default language in Android settings at search the web in another language.
Chrome also supports the new redesign of Google Assistant, which is now a full-screen interface with a bright light, rather than a small window in the lower third of the display. However, the new Google Assistant interface is not a requirement; you can enable Google Chrome Assistant voice search on all devices, it will look different depending on the interface used by your phone.
Despite its benefits, Google Assistant voice search is not a default feature in Chrome. You must enable the experimental feature by activating a Chrome flag, but it is available on all Android devices that use it Chrome 87 or later. Google may turn on Google Chrome Assistant by default in a later update, but here’s how to turn it on manually for now:
