Reliance Jio has been the frontrunner in various aspects in 2017- be it the tariff plans department, new services launch, or adding new features to the existing services. The telecom operator who is on the rise has added an interesting feature to its MyJio application, and it’s a voice assistant feature, dubbed as ‘HelloJio.’ This feature is rolling out to users with the latest MyJio update and is quite impressive so far in understanding what we speak.

To recall, Reliance Jio introduced its own voice assistant with the Reliance JioPhone earlier this year. We can’t confirm whether the new HelloJio assistant rolling out to the MyJio app is the same one as the JioPhone because we haven’t got a chance to test out the JioPhone until now.
But so far, we’re impressed with ‘HelloJio‘ voice assistant on the MyJio application. The best part is you can use this voice assistant in both Hindi and English languages. Switching between both the languages is a breeze as a toggle is present at the right bottom of the HelloJio screen.
The HelloJio voice assistant can be accessed from MyJio app home screen. After updating the MyJio app to the latest version, you can see a ‘mic’ option at the top right corner beside the Jio Apps menu. Clicking on that mic option will take you to the HelloJio voice assistant home screen.

This voice assistant from Reliance Jio doesn’t require any additional voice training like the Google Assistant. Sadly, there’s no way to activate the voice assistant remotely with your voice as whenever you need to use it; you have to enable it manually. To make the things more straightforward, Jio is adding a floating icon with Jio written on it on to your home screen. Pressing it will take you to the HelloJio assistant screen.
