"Installing OK, Google" - here's how to do it

"OK, Google" are the words you can use to activate the Google Home or Google's assistance system on your smartphone. However, for this to work, you need the Google app. This is already preinstalled on most Android smartphones.

How to install the Google app

The Google app represents the interface between your smartphone and Google. Here you can make quick search queries and that by instruction with "OK, Google".

1. Go to the Google Play Store by opening the appropriate app and search for the Google app.
2. Download the app and install it.
3. After installation, you still need to activate the "OK, Google" function. You do this by opening the app and then tapping on the three small dots at the bottom.
4. Now go on to "Settings" > "Voice Input" > "Voice Match".
5. Then activate the option "Access with Voice Match".

This completes the installation of "Ok, Google" and you can now use the voice assistant. With Google Home, you have the ability to control all sorts of devices. Are you not sure whether you want to use Google Home, then perhaps the corresponding tip can help you, which informs you about all the pros and cons.
