"Hey Google" wakeup command for phones seeing more widespread roll out now

18 December 2017
The feature was launched a couple of months ago, but it saw a limited roll out initially.

Sort by:

I used to use the hey Google hotword to activate my google homes in the house as okay google would activate my phone as well. But soon, I won't be able play this trick anymore.

    Why I use this awkward command when I can simply say " Ok JERVUS" to my moto x2 x3 and moto z's to activate google? LOL Motorola is way better than this.

        Anonymous, 18 Dec 2017it should be single word like 'siri' not like hey google or... moreIn crowded place, people might say a word and actived your phone. Not sure if google will use old fashioned way like siri and Cortana activared by pressing button, but motorola active just by voice aka tauchless control, so phrases is safe way to prevent actived by others

            Who even uses this wannabe "assistant"?

            We have Cortana and Siri which are the best options out there. Cortana is the best, and Siri 2nd best. Everything else is very far behind Cortana and Siri.
