Google Assistant is updating its software to allow users to easily make commands. While the virtual assistantship can be extremely useful at times, it has a tendency to ramble on after the user asks a question. Other times, Google Assistant misinterprets the command.
To better control the Google Assitant's actions, users can silence the device by uttering the word "stop." The official Google Twitter account recently announced the minor feature update. Users no longer need to say "Hey, Google" before stoping the Assistant's speech. This update is small but necessary for user satisfaction, making it easier to end commands. Google has been testing the new feature since last year. The team codenamed the feature "Guacamole."
