Turn On “Hey Google” on Android

To activate “Hey Google” on your Android phone, you’ll use the official Google app.

Start by launching the Google app on your phone. At the top-right corner of the app, tap your profile icon.

In the profile menu, tap “Settings.”

Choose "Settings" from the menu.

On the “Settings” page, tap “Voice.”

Tap "Voice" on the "Settings" page.

From the “Voice” menu, choose “Voice Match.”

Select "Voice Match" on the "Voice" page.

You’ll land on a “Hey Google & Voice Match” page. Here, in the “This Phone” tab, turn on the “Hey Google” option.

Tip: In the future, to turn off “Hey Google” on your phone, disable the “Hey Google” option.

Activate the "Hey Google" option.

And that’s it. From now on, no matter what app you’re using, say “Hey Google” to launch the Google Assistant on your phone. Enjoy!

Turn On “Ok Google” on iPhone

Like Android, you’ll also use the Google app on your iPhone to activate the “Ok Google” hotword.

To do so, first, open the Google app on your iPhone. In the app’s top-left corner, tap your profile icon.

On the “Settings” page that opens, tap “Voice Search.”

Select "Voice Search" on the "Settings" page.

On the “Voice Search” page, enable the “Ok Google hotword” option. Then, in the top-right corner, tap “Done.”

Tip: In the future, if you’d like to disable “Ok Google,” then toggle off the “Ok Google hotword” option.

Turn on the "Ok Google hotword" option.

And you’re all set.
