Samsung shows Galaxy Watch 4 with Google Assistant in video

Samsung Spain has put a video on YouTube in which the Galaxy Watch 4 with Google Assistant plays the leading role. This smart assistant is not yet available on the popular smartwatch, and is therefore a frequently requested feature for many Watch 4 owners.

Galaxy Watch 4 is waiting for the Google Assistant

The Galaxy Watch 4 series consists of two watches, a regular version and a Classic version. They are the first smartwatches to run on Wear OS 3. Both watches are different in appearance and specifications, and both are similar in terms of the Google Assistant. There isn’t one. Samsung’s own voice assistant is present on the watches and that is Bixby. Still, most Galaxy Watch 4 owners want to use the Google Assistant for voice commands. In August of 2021, Samsung announced that Google’s voice assistant would be coming to the Galaxy Watch 4 watch, but did not specify a time frame.

We are now more than 8 months later and now new signs of the Google Assistant on the Watch 4 are showing up. Samsung Spain shows in a video how the Google Assistant works on the Watch 4. The man in the video asks his Galaxy Watch 4 to play music on YouTube Music by summoning the Assistant with “Hey Google”.

In February, Samsung announced that the Galaxy Watch 4 will receive an update with the Google Assistant ‘soon’. In addition, a US telecom provider announced a new system update on its Watch 4 support page last week that enables integration with Google Assistant. That information has since been removed from the page. A little while later, Google confirmed to Android Police that Assistant support wasn’t quite ready to roll out yet.

When will the Galaxy Watch 4 get the Google Assistant?

All signs that hopefully it won’t be long before the Google Assistant update arrives on the Galaxy Watch 4. We asked Samsung Netherlands whether there was any prospect of the arrival of the Google Assistant to the Galaxy Watch 4. We received the following answer: “This is not clear at the moment. As soon as we know more, we will also communicate this.” So waiting is the only advice we can give you for now. As soon as more is known, you will of course read it on Androidworld.
