Google Assistant has made smartphone usage smarter and more convenient, especially for Android users. One of its most useful features is the ability to send and listen to WhatsApp messages using voice commands, without touching your phone. This hands-free functionality is extremely helpful when you are driving, exercising, cooking, or multitasking.
Android smartphone users can use Google Assistant to interact with WhatsApp, SMS apps, and other messaging platforms. Whether your phone is in your pocket or connected to wireless headphones, Google Assistant allows you to stay connected with your contacts safely and effortlessly.
Using Google Assistant for WhatsApp offers several benefits:
Hands-free communication
Safer usage while driving
Faster messaging without typing

With voice commands, users can send messages, hear new messages, and reply instantly without unlocking their phone.
Before starting, make sure:
Google Assistant is enabled on your Android phone
WhatsApp is installed and updated
Your contacts are saved correctly

On your Android smartphone or tablet, press and hold the Home button or simply say “Hey Google” to activate Google Assistant.

Make sure you use the exact name saved in your phone’s contact list.
Once Google Assistant recognizes the contact, it will ask you to select an app. Choose WhatsApp from the list of available messaging apps.
Google Assistant will now ask what message you want to send. Clearly speak your message. Avoid long pauses, as the assistant may stop listening.
