Google users worldwide encountered an error accessing the Google Assistant last week. The error prevented users from accessing the Google Assistant, not just Android smartphones. Now, the news is that Google has fixed this bug.
For those unsure of exactly what happened, here’s a brief rundown: Over the past week, some Google Assistant users were unable to access the virtual assistant on their devices.
In the case of smart displays, both Nest devices and third-party devices, users have been unable to ignore the white boot screen. According to a Google 9To5 report, smartphone users reported seeing the four points on the Google Assistant spinning non-stop. Smartphone users working with the Google Assistant, on the other hand, reported that the speaker said “an error has occurred” or “there is an error”, which caused all these devices were unusable.
Similarly, the Android and iOS smartphone app continues to display the message “currently unable to reach Google. The report said that although some users managed to transcribe the voice, others not.
What was worrying was neither uninstalling the latest update in case of the mobile app nor resetting the hardware in case the speakers and smart screens seemed to help. This, according to the report, occurred due to problems with the Google account. Google, according to a message posted on its community forum earlier today, was aware of the problem and was working to fix it.
Now, the news is that the company has fixed the problem. While for most users, the issue was resolved automatically, others received a call from Google Nest providing a code to tag comments.
