Through Tech Times we found out about this interesting rumor that could be confirmed shortly. It seems that Google Assistant, the new Google assistant, could have a version for iOS as a separate app. And we could know it in a few days.
Google will hold its developer conference on May 17, 18 and 19, and that is where the news is expected to be confirmed. According to the same rumors, this version could come with the same interface as Google Allo, the messaging server that already has Google Assistant integratedEven so, we continue in the field of rumors. You might end up with a completely different interface at the end.
It is quite probable that starts out as an American-only version If we take into account that the new Google assistant is not yet available for languages like ours, it makes a lot of sense. But this only affects arrival times. Product development would be the same.
A necessary step
One of the attractions of Google Now, the old Google Assistant, still working, is that it's available for both operating systems As an app, you can enjoy almost all its possibilities, working almost as well as when it is integrated into the software.
Therefore, the new improved version could not forget this detail and include iPhone users.Otherwise would be a step backwards compared to a tool, Google Now, which is already quite useful in itself. Having the search engine integrated into the card system greatly facilitates day-to-day life, whatever the operating system chosen.
Basing on the Google Allo interface could work to develop a chat system with artificial intelligence more similar to what Siri is today . Perhaps this would make navigation more intuitive and faster.
What this means for Siri
For the iPhone assistant, this is bad news. If confirmed, the almighty Siri would have real competition for the first time Although it is a well-integrated software with very efficient operation, the fact that Google Assistant optimizes the Google searches is a point in its favor.
If the iPhone user seeks to navigate within his computer more easily, he will stay with Siri. However, if you're interested in using it for improved and faster searches, you could stick with the Google Assistant. It all depends on the way Google offers this app. Its design, its weight... you will have to take care of every detail.
More things to look forward to at the I/O Developer Conference
Apart from this novelty, other releases are expected in the conference these days. There will be talk about the Android O and Fuchsia operating systems, for example In addition, news is expected in Android Wear 2.0, as well as for the Daydream virtual reality platform.
Google Home on your side, you might get some updates. The direction of Google Allo and Duo will probably also be on the table. As we can see, there will be a lot to tell.
All of this will take place on the 17th, 18th and 19th of May, in Mountain View, California. It can be seen live from their website. For those of you who want to know only the strong points, we will take care of offering them. For now we are left with that possibility, Google Assistant for iPhone, which sounds very loud Only in a few days we will be able to confirm it. They may also be hard pressed and announce it later. With Google, you never know.
