If it’s still not working, check out whether it’s enabled or not.

• A further switch next to “Google Assistant” and “Access with Voice Match” to complete the process.

• Then try your Assistant as “OK Google” to verify whether the issue is solved or not.

Other possible solutions:

• Check your microphone: Make sure your microphone is working otherwise Assistant won’t hear you and it won’t respond.

• Check your internet connection: You need to be online for using Google Assistant. So make sure you are connected with a stable internet connection.

• Upgrade the app: Check your Google app whether it’s of updated to the latest version or not. Grant all the permissions to Google app by Settings->Apps->Google App->Permissions.
