Google Now can now Read and Reply Last Five messages

           


Googles voice assistant Google Now can already do a lot of interesting stuff from performing searches to activating and deactivating services like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and more. The latest update for the Google Now brings the ability to read text messages aloud among other improvements.

You have to do is say, OK Google, show me my last messages. Once youve said that, Google Now will then read back to you your past five text messages. Note that you have to say show because if you say read, apparently it will try to search on the internet. Were not sure why that is but apparently thats what happens.

Google Now will then ask you whether you want to reply, repeat it, next one or skip it. On saying repeat it, Google Now will repeat the text message for you. If you say reply, it will ask what you want to reply where youll need to say it aloud. It will then confirm and send the reply to the recipient.

The feature can be handy at times when youre driving or occupied with work when you dont want to fiddle with the screen to find the SMS app, look for the text messages and type out the reply. This feature works with any default SMS app that you use on your Android smartphone.
