This will also give the application the ability to enable or disable Do Not Disturb and change related settings. &#8220;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once permission is granted, the assistant is ready to go.\u00a0A pop-up window appears on your phone\u00a0with the last message received.\u00a0The system reads it aloud, including the application it comes from and the name of the sender.\u00a0You will then have the option to write or dictate an answer.\u00a0Upon completion, the response is sent immediately and the original message is marked as read (the notification disappears).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google begins to cover a service\u00a0that, at least since 2013, was carried out by other independent applications such as ReadItToMe.\u00a0To use it, it is also necessary to enable the\u00a0<em>app<\/em>\u00a0by\u00a0<em>clicking<\/em>\u00a0on the green button.\u00a0After allowing access, a menu is displayed in which you can select all the applications that you want the device to read to you.\u00a0SMS, Whatsapp, Telegram etc.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If a user is driving or riding a bike and receives a notification, his terminal can read all messages aloud.\u00a0Google<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":187,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
