Yes, I used it. But uninstalled it, as using Assistant takes away the quick screenshot feature of Now On Tap. 😛

I was wondering about that. So no Now on Tap on Pixel devices?

 

[AbhishekMSharma]

Now On Tap is there. When the Assistant appears, simply scroll up to get the Now On Tap results.
One extra step, that's it.

However, the quick screenshot feature is removed.

google giveth, google taketh away.

Is Assistant released official for all phones?

I remember uninstalling the Xposed module and have been using the traditional Now On Tap. But suddenly I have Assistant back again.

Connect Google Assistant to hundreds of apps - IFTTT

this alone could be the best thing to happen to google assistant.

 

[Sushubh]

i also read that it is available through gapps or whatever it's called.

 

[Nishant]

Right. Opengapps app would have an option to enable assistant in custom ROMs.

Open GApps Adds Option to Enable Google Assistant During Installation

The Google Assistant is coming to more Android phones

I am going to miss the screenshot feature. Which I believe still exists but is more painful to use.
