Unlike the messaging service, which has been a bit patchy along the way (recentlyDuo merged by Meet Said:…), Google Assistant/Google Assistant related functions are basically constantly being introduced, and they are all integrated services that can be used smoothly across mobile phones, tablets, and even voice smart speakers, smart watches, Android Auto and Internet of Things systems.
Although the initial support for Chinese is really impressive, seriously speaking, it is rare to see any services that have their functions cut off. However, someone recently mentioned on an online forum that they had received a notification that certain features would be removed – I wonder if anyone else has also received it? Continue reading the text of the report that Google Assistant has silently eliminated several “reminder” functions.

Google Assistant silently eliminates several “reminder” functions
As the ecosystem continues to grow and grow, Google Assistant, the voice assistant service, can basically run through most of its services and can be called out in almost every corner of the system. I don’t know what commands you usually use to “call” it? (When the editor turned himself in, he almost always asked about the weather XD)
With this service, even “Ok Google” can beUse your own words instead, more recentlyMajor changes to the settings page, people are suddenly surprised that this service has grown to a huge scale that feels like the Android system. Isn’t it surprising to see Google starting to “rectify” this service to a certain extent? The only strange thing is that they actually chose to chop “silently”.
I don’t know if you saw this report and discovered that Google Assistant can also be used in this way – it’s probably too late to use it (QQ). Because in terms of feedback from Reddit users. When he recently set up the reminder function to be triggered for a specific location, he actually received an official notification that the reminder function based on location information would be turned off.
This is a convenient reminder function that allows you to set up geofence technology such as “Remind me to take out the trash when I get home.” In fact, it is also provided in the original reminder application of iOS. It’s just that for unknown reasons, Google seems to be preparing to castrate some functions of the voice assistant – some foreign media believe that Google may provide similar functions with other services. They also mentioned that the function of assigning reminders provided by Google to specific user accounts seems to be officially castrated.
I don’t know why Google wants to cut off these seemingly convenient reminder functions – maybe few people use them? But does it matter if you keep it? Or is it because obtaining too many permissions may cause problems such as device power consumption? What puzzled the users who complained on Reddit this time was that the official only said that the function would be cancelled, but did not provide any alternative alternatives to the Reminder reminder service.
I wonder if you have ever used Google reminders? Are these advanced related functions also useful? Or have you found an alternative early on? Please don’t hesitate to share your good service discoveries with everyone.
