I had my google assistant before, but since I did a factory reset on my phone it turns out that I am now back at google now on tap. Does anyone here knows how to bring back the google assistant on our device? Note that I didn't do such things like getting the google assistant on 3rd party apps or flash some zips etc.
Where do you live? If you live in the US, the UK or Germany it will come back.
Sorry, but I am from the Philippines.

Hello Guys,
I bought the OnePlus 3 and after using it for maybe 30 minutes I started experiencing "Google Play is not answering" messages while I was downloading the apps I wanted - I wanted to start fresh, not migrate from my OnePlus One. I contacted support, they told me that I should do a hard reset - I did wipe data and cache with the factory reset option, and since then the phone is not passing the "checking connection" phase. After a while I can skip it, and the wifi is working fine - I can browse, log in to Facebook i.e., however for Google services (Chrome, Play Store) I cannot connect, I cannot add my Google account, so basically nothig Google related is working. Do you guys have any idea how this can be, and what can happen?
Other question: Support told me to replace the phone, they want it back now... will I get a replacement immediately, or will I need to wait for weeks with my money pending? How is this with OnePlus, do you have any experience?
I'm having the same problem with Google services, can't sign in to any of the Google Apps.
Any solution?
Hi everyone...
I just got the updated Google app, which is supposed to enable Google Assistant on all phones running Marshmallow and Nougat. Here is the info from Google's own blog...
https://blog.google/products/assistant/meet-your-googleassistant/
According to this blog, "To get started, touch and hold the Home button"
But... if I do that, it just opens up Google Now On Tap (like it always has).
Has anyone gotten it working on a stock S6?
Thanks...

I had the same thing on my S6 and couldn't figure out for the life of me how to enable the feature. I believe there's something server side Google has to do to enable it. Based on many of the press releases there would be an Google Play Services update and then it commented that Google would be rolling out the feature in waves.
At least I hope that's the case and we not excluded.
It is a server side switch.

Use the Assistant enabler Xposed module to get it working for now.
Google Assistant showed up on my S6 last night. One thing I did was join the beta program for Google Play Services. The only thing that I'm not a fan of is the removal of "stories to read" news articles. Otherwise it works quite well.
Updated to latest services apk (from apkmirror) yesterday. Got the assistant update this morning.
Mine just popped up with the prompt to set it up.. one day, it's working now. How do I get it to talk in the UK voice again? it's no longer an option
Edit: It is now an option after another update.
Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a date where Google Assitant will be available in Ireland since it was already released in the UK? If not is there a way to get it manually instead of through the play store?
Updated Google Allo from Google Store now comes with Google Assistant. Just install Allo, long press Home button and you're good to go.
I have heard that Google Assistant is rolling out to devices with Marshmallow and above, but my Galaxy A7(2017) is on Android 6.0.1 and still haven't received it. I tried long pressing the home button but it's just the google now or something and not google assistant. Any help on how to get Google Assistant besides using Allo?
I have A3 2017 with the same 6.0.1 as you. At leat I assume Assisstant works fine for me. The only thing I can think of is that you need to use english language on your phone. Im from Hungary, but when I got the phone, the first thing was to change the language. Everything works OK, even the Assisstant. I hope thats it
Hello, I had the same problem so here is how i fixed it:
1. I set my search language and phone language to English (United States).
2. Updated my google and google services app to the leatest from apkmirror.
3. Went to applications and cleared all data from google and google services.
That's it, went into the google app and google assistant was there!
How is it possible that my device has gotten the 7.1.1 OTA, updated and yet no Google Assistant. I have tried everything, but yet when I long press the Home button Google Now on tap comes up.
PS: For your own sake those really smart people who will post links that will lead me to Google search results, keep it to yourself
I was having it in 7.0 but afyer upgrading my device no assistant is present.
From what I understand it depends if Google has activated it for your device and also what you have your language settings configured to.
Here is what I use: http://https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases
I am on 7.0. I got google assistant when i registered as google beta tester. And then its important to set your language to english.
Update: I just received the notification to enable Google Assistant and after the initial setup. I finally have Google Assistant! ?
It's popping up every time when I long press home button. I would like to get rid of it and gesture from bottom which brings up Google now. I'm not using none of them.

Change language in Android settings to English UK. After that if you long press home you'll get it.
