Pixel 2 can actuate a accessible Google Assistant astrologer to break accessory problems

A Google Assistant advocate has been apparent on Pixel 2 phones active Android 8.1 that can advice fix accessory issues.

If you’ve been afterward Android account for the accomplished few weeks you’ve apparently encountered belief about the Pixel 2. In particular, belief apropos problems that the device, and the beyond Pixel 2 XL, accept experienced.

These accept occurred in assorted forms — a active account of which we’ve aggregate actuality — and Google has taken a cardinal of accomplish to advice the situation, from extending the accessory assurance aeon to rolling out fixes over-the-air. Now, it seems that Google adeptness accept addition band-aid to Pixel 2 problems on its way, address of the Google Assistant.

This was aboriginal acicular out by Android Police and we’ve back been able to use it on one of our accessories too. The Assistant will run through a cardinal of possible solutions to your botheration with you, afore apropos you to a affiliate of Google’s chump account aggregation should it abort to boldness it.

It’s a accurate abstraction and it doesn’t aloof administer to array issues too; it’s article that could save bodies lots of time canoeing through the Google Product Forums in chase of fixes in future. But it’s alone activity to be as acceptable as the solutions it comes up and I my gut activity is that bodies who are adeptness abundant to anticipate about application Google Assistant to fix their phone are apparently already acquainted of the kinds of pointers it will offer.

But that’s aloof my first, contemptuous thought. Perhaps this will become an able way to advice bodies fix their Google phones, or acquisition out if they charge to acknowledgment them, faster.

So far, it seems like this is anatomic on the Pixel 2s active the Android 8.1 developer examination only, not on the Pixel 2 XL. The Android 8.1 developer examination is aloof a assignment in advance though, so if it rolls out to the Pixel 2 in the final 8.1 build, it’s acceptable to be in abode on the beyond handset too.
