Google’s Smart Virtual AI Assistant must have been much smarter for years but there seems to be some simple things that still cannot be done. One of them is the ability to turn off your cellphone just use your voice, which sounds (no words) that is excessive considering there is a power button. It turns out that the Google assistant might get the right feature on Android 12 and exactly because it will be able to order the power button for himself.
Among the many intelligent assistants available on the phone, Google Assistant may have the highest number of activation methods, especially on pixel phones. Of course there is a way of voice command, think it is always aware of the wake up phrase. There is also a special button and squeezed on several cellphones with the hardware feature. You can also swipe from the corners of the screen for those who use the full screen movement navigation Android.
On Android 12, it gets another activation method, which requires a long time pressing the power button. However, it is also an action that usually appears an electric menu to bring up the closure, restart, and some smart home controls on Android 11. Recorded by several Android 12 beta using that no option to turn off the phone must be selected to set action to Google Assistant.
9To5Google sleuthing reveals that Android 12 will offer two new ways to turn off the phone. One of them is pressing the volume and power button together at the same time temporarily. The more interesting method is to tell Google Assistant to turn off the phone, which you can call by pressing the old power button.
The report notes that the function is still not activated even if they can create information pages appear, so they cannot test whether it will turn off your cellphone directly or bring up the old power menu first. This might not even happen at all, considering Google’s habits, but, hopefully it will appear in a way for users to easily turn off their cellphones when Google Assistant takes over the power button.
