Google has been known to provide some great tools over the last couple of years, from Android as an operating system to the Google search that is one of the best search engines in recent times. Another key tool that Google has provided in recent times is the Google Assistant, which is the most well known AI assistants in recent times.
This is quite a feat considering how Apple beat the tech giant to the first AI assistant by launching Siri. Despite the delay, it is common knowledge that Google’s offering is leaps and bounds ahead of Apple’s when it comes to key features like ease of use, accessibility and voice control.
Now, it has been revealed that Google will be bringing a key change to the assistant that will make using it even more easy, especially for users who do not want to say the keyword that is “Hey Google”.
What is This New Feature?

Google announced recently that a bunch of features will be coming to the Assistant during Google I/O 2021 as part of the Android 12 update, one of which is shortcut expansions. Furthermore, a teardown of the latest Google App with the version v12.22.5 which was conducted by XDA Developers has revealed a new feature that will be added to the Assistant in some time.
This new feature, which will be called quick phrases will allow users to interact with the Google Assistant without having to say the “Hey Google” keyword.
