How can you speed up Google Assistant on devices you still use
Now, there are multiple ways you can potentially get a bit more speed out of Google Assistant on your devices. And there are at least a few factors to consider when doing so. So, like many of our how-to guides, we’re going to go over the one way that will potentially speed up the AI. And how you can improve the experience otherwise.
To begin with, your AI may be slower because of your connection or your hardware…
If your Google Assistant speed isn’t quite up to snuff, the first thing you’ll want to check is your internet or data speed. And that’s because Google Assistant works not just on your hardware but in the cloud. So running a top-rated speed test — or going to Google.com and typing in Speed Test — can show you if your issue is with the connection. After all, Google needs to pull down details from the web for most search-related queries. And it needs to link to your smart home gadgets when it’s used in that manner. All of which is over the cloud. Secondary to that, some smartphones simply won’t perform as well when it comes to using Google Assistant. That’s because, on the other side of the equation, quite a lot of processing happens on the hardware side too. And some devices simply don’t have the chops to keep up. Particularly in the lower end of the budget segment. There are plenty of tips around to speed up your phone and Android itself is getting faster all the time. Although, if you’re using a cheap phone, you probably shouldn’t expect the best performance either.
…or speed the Google AI up by removing Assistant from devices you no longer use or no longer use frequently
Of course, Google also recently added a dedicated way to gain a little bit more from your Assistant experience on the speed front too and that will be the next topic of this how-to guide. The overwhelming majority of modern smartphones will run Assistant without hiccups. So it may just be that you’ve used Assistant on too many devices and that’s hanging up the system. So following these steps should help as well.
