Hey Google, send an audio message: Assistant gets new voice capabilities

Google now allows users to send audio messages to contacts through Google Assistant. The feature works with both SMS (if compatible) and WhatsApp.

To send an audio message through Google Assistant, simply say “Hey Google, send audio message” or “Hey Google, send an audio message to saying .” On our phone, Google showed two options – SMS and WhatsApp. Once you select WhatsApp, Assistant asks you to record the message. The process is completely voice-enabled.

In case you have not enabled the Hey Google voice command, you can manually launch the Assistant to send the audio note to a contact.
