You can use the voice command to 'call' from Google Assistant in both WhatsApp and Duo

Google Assistant calls

Perhaps many do not know it, but Google Assistant or Google Assistant is able to contextualize the voice command to 'call' to make a call from the app in which we have 'invoked' the assistant.

I mean, yes we are using WhatsApp to chat and we use voice command 'Call Vicente', the call from the messaging app will be used instead of the normal call or phone app that we have by default on the mobile.

Of course, you have to take into account that only works with the new Google Assistant that was released on the Pixel 4 from Google and that is now also available on the Pixel 4a, 4a 5G and 5.

In other words, if we use the Google Assistant voice command with «Ok, Google, call Vicente», if we are on WhatsApp will initiate the app call instead of the normal one, or if we are on Duo, it will do the same with the one of this app based mainly on video calls.

The interesting thing about the process is that it is activated even if you are not in the same window of any chat, but even being in the settings or any other screen of the app, the call to the contact mentioned in the voice command said to the Google Assistant will start. It is another of the tricks that we have with a Google Assistant that we can also use so that through a whistle I can recognize a song.

As we said, this function is present in the new minimalist Google Assistant that we can find in the Pixel 4 mentioned, so if you have another or try because it will launch the default phone app that you have installed on your Android mobile.
