The Google assistant has become an essential part of our mobile phones, since it allows us to access different routines in a simple way and makes the most of our phone. In the case of Realme mobiles we can activate this assistant by pressing one of its physical buttons, in a more simple and direct way.
There are many mobiles that have dedicated buttons to activate the Google assistant without having to say “OK Google” or “Hey Google” that usually activates the assistant. But the vast majority do not have them, so you have to resort to these types of tricks.
Activate the Google Assistant with the power button
Normally, the Google assistant can activate it through a voice command, as you already know, but if we find ourselves in a situation in which we do not want anyone to hear us saying it to our mobile, the easiest thing is to press a button to Activate the wizard and start listening to us or getting ready for us to type on the keyboard. In the case of Realme mobiles, this functionality is usually disabled, but it is possible to configure it so that it is activated when we press on one of its physical buttons .
In this case it is the power button. In this way, when the function is activated, we will need to press the power button for at least 0.5 seconds for the Google assistant to start. If you are wondering how we then access the menu that usually comes out when pressing the power button, we must bear in mind that then we will have to press for three seconds in a row so that it appears on the screen of our phone. Therefore the shutdown menu is displaced in importance when this functionality is activated, always being the second option to be activated.
How do you activate this mode on your Realme?
Well, it is quite simple, because all we are going to have to do is access the phone settings to activate this functionality on the power button of the Realme mobile thanks to Realme UI . Do the following:
- Enter the settings of your Realme
- Click on “Practical tools”
- Activate the “Press and hold the power button to activate Google Assistant”
Once activated by moving the slider we will begin to experience this alternative way of activating the Google assistant on our Realme mobile. Of course, we already warned you that at the beginning it is something that is quite difficult , and that usually leads us to misunderstandings, when for example we want to turn off the mobile screen and press the power button too long, then we find the assistant Google. But with the passing of the days we are catching up with this function.
