PROBLEM  :

Why isn't my voice being recognized by the Google Assistant?

Answer:

There might be two reasons why your device is experiencing this issue. Firstly, there is a known problem with the current version of the Google app (8.0.x or higher) that affects some Samsung devices. However, both companies are actively working together to provide an updated version of the app that resolves this issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, please ensure that you regularly check for updates to the app and apply them promptly.

Secondly, it's possible that the Voice Match feature within the Google Assistant has not been enabled on your device. This feature allows the assistant to recognize your voice specifically. To activate it, follow these steps:

Open the Settings app on your device.

Search for and select the option labeled 'Voice Match'.

Tap on 'Get started' under the section titled 'Hey Google'.

Tap 'Next', and then agree to the terms and conditions by tapping 'I Agree'.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.

After completing these steps, your device should now correctly recognize your voice commands using phrases such as "OK, Google" or "Hey, Google."
