Easier on the Eyes
The app is not only becoming more user-friendly, but the design is also easier on the eyes. Google is emphasizing visuals and images so that people receive a better user experience every time they open the app.
New Smart Home Devices Controls
Another great thing about this latest Google Assistant update is the fact that it adds new controls for smart home devices. For example, people will be able to use a slider in order to change the volume of their smart speaker or the brightness of the light that the smart dimmable lamp puts out.
Brand Integration
We should also mention that Google Assistant will now feature better integration for third-party brands such as Starbucks. People will be able to view the full Starbucks menu on their Android smartphones just by asking Google Assistant about it. To make things even better, people will also be able to place online orders via Google Assistant and this feature is going to come in quite handy.
