Google Assistant Bug
A user who goes by the name Dev Auto on Google Support Forums has said that he can no longer use Google’s voice assistant to send a message or initiate a call. The user said that he has been using the voice assistant since a year and four days ago he got a message that said, “Unfortunately, that’s not available on this device,” when he tried to place a call, The same happened when he attempted to send a message. He has tried rebooting his phone and clearing the cache but nothing helped. Auto uses OnePlus 3T running Android 8.0.0. Some users have also reported that they get a message saying that the feature isn’t supported in their language.
Similarly, a user who goes by the username @Maneet96 on Twitter said that his Google Assistant is not working. He said that when he tries to activate the Assistant, he is asked to activate a voice match and then told that the system already knows his voice. It is a frustrating loop.
@Google @GoogleAI my Google assistant is not working. I say hey Google it takes me to the screen to activate voice match then it says it already knows my voice.. but then it doesn't work. It's like a deadlock. The option to retrain or detail voice model is greyed out. Please help
