Android is certainly a widely popular and most affordable platform for mobile and tablets users. Android comes with tons of awesome features. You know that Android development runs under Google, which has more than fifty amazing free apps for Android.

If you are an Android 4.1 or later version user, you might have already used OK GOOGLE that is quite similar to Siri of iOS and Cortana of Windows Phone. Although, the workflow of Google Now is totally different from other similar apps i.e. Siri, Cortana etc. but it is being treated as a digital assistant among Android users.

If you have used Google Now, you have said OK Google every time after opening the Google app on your Android device. By making use of Google Now, you can search for anything. You can ask questions to get answers from the web. On the other hand, you can utilize it to call somebody, Toggle Bluetooth, open installed app and many more things.

All you need to do is open Google Now and say Ok Google to start giving command. Ok Google works like a passcode to run Google Now. You can use Google Now deprived of saying Ok Google but who would like to tap on the screen when he/she can do the same using voice command. Isn’t it?

Thereafter, you can access Google Now properly.
