Are you fed up of getting out of your bath top to change the song playing on your smartphone? Or tired of always cleaning your wet/stained hands before picking a call on your phone? I guess your answer is as good as mine.

Many people really don’t know the power of the device they use, nowadays all they do is play music, calls, watch videos surf the net or social media. But that’s not the only thing your phone can do! Right here and now I’ll show you how you can use your smartphone without even touching it, this is possible because of two apps am gonna mention here which are “google assistant” and “siri” apps. Luckily many phones have them inbuilt already but if Your’s doesn’t, then you can download it.

‘Google assistant’ as the name goes, is an Android app that assists you on the operation or navigation of your smartphone,

How Google assistant works

«Touch and hold the home button on your Android phone or say “hey google” and if the assistant is off you’ll be asked to turn it on. You can also use it under lock screen.

«After turning it on, ask a question or say a command to your android phone and it will follow your orders, but you have to be audible and make sure you use a language among the list in the settings of google assistant.
