When BlackBerry initially released their Assistant on BlackBerry 10 devices plenty of folks enjoyed using the app. Now, with BlackBerry moving to Android, that has opened up a lot of doors for BlackBerry fans to take advantage of Google's ecosystem and that includes Google Assistant, which can do far more than the BlackBerry 10 Assistant ever could. Are you using it?
As far as I can tell, there's not a lot of talk from Android BlackBerry users in the CrackBerry Forums about Google Assistant, and that made me wonder if people even REALLY know it's available? I have family members and friends who had no idea Google Assistant was a thing they could use on their KEYone. They just skipped through the setup and never actually set their OK Google command, let alone taking the time to learn all the things they could yell at their phone when looking for information, directions and so much more.
With that in mind, I figured we'd take the question to a wider audience and ask everyone in a poll, do you Google Assistant on your BlackBerry? If you do, let me know in the poll and in the comments what you generally use it for and why you like using it. If you don't, let me know why you don't use it. Is it because you forget it exists, never knew it was an option, privacy concerns? Maybe you need to know more about how to use it?
