Hey Google not working on mobile device? Here’s how to fix it.
Update Google App and Assistant
To fix the issue of “Hey Google” not working on your mobile device, the first step is to make sure that you have the latest version of the Google App and Google Assistant installed. Open the Google Play Store on your Android device and search for “Google” to find the app. If an update is available, tap on “Update” to install it.
If you have a Google Pixel or Nexus device, you can also try updating the Google App and Assistant through the Google Workspace. Open the Google Workspace app, go to the “Updates” section, and look for the Google App and Assistant. If an update is available, tap on “Update” to install it.
Once you have updated the app and assistant, you may need to retrain your voice model. Open the Google App, tap on the three dots in the bottom right corner, and go to “Settings.” From there, select “Voice” and then “Voice Match.” Follow the on-screen instructions to retrain your voice model.
If the issue still persists, try checking the microphone settings on your device. Make sure the microphone is not blocked or covered, and that it has the necessary permissions to access the Google App. You can also try clearing the cache and data of the Google App to see if that resolves the issue.
If none of these steps work, it may be helpful to provide feedback to Google. Open the Google App, tap on the three dots in the bottom right corner, and go to “Settings.” From there, select “Help & feedback” and then “Send feedback.” Describe the issue you are facing and provide any relevant details that may help Google troubleshoot the problem.
Verify Google Assistant and Voice Command Settings
1. Open the Google Assistant app on your Android device.
2. Tap on the icon in the bottom right corner to access the settings.
3. Scroll down and select “Voice and speech.”
4. Ensure that the “Hey Google” option is toggled on.
5. Check that your preferred language is selected under the “Language” section.
6. If you’re experiencing issues with voice recognition, try training the Assistant to recognize your voice by tapping on “Voice model” and following the prompts.
7. Make sure that your microphone is working properly by testing it in another app or making a phone call.
8. Disable any background noise or music that may interfere with the Assistant’s ability to hear your voice clearly.
Check Language Settings and Microphone Accessibility
To fix Hey Google not working on your mobile device, it’s important to check your language settings and microphone accessibility.
First, make sure your device’s language settings are set correctly. Go to the settings menu on your Android device and navigate to the Language & input section. Ensure that the language you want to use for Hey Google is selected.
Next, check the microphone accessibility. Go to the settings menu and find the Apps or Applications section. Look for the Google app or the virtual assistant app you are using, such as Google Nest or Google Voice. Tap on the app and navigate to the Permissions section. Make sure that the microphone permission is enabled.
If the issue persists, try restarting your device and clearing the cache of the Google app in the settings menu. You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the app from Google Play or the app store.
Disable Battery Saver and Optimization Options
To disable battery saver, go to your device’s settings and look for the Battery section. Tap on Battery Saver and turn it off. This will prevent your device from limiting background processes and potentially affecting Hey Google.
To disable optimization options, navigate to your device’s settings and search for the Apps section. Find the Google app in the list and tap on it. Look for the Battery or Optimization section within the app settings. Tap on it and select “Don’t optimize” or a similar option to ensure that Hey Google can run properly in the background.
