Below, we list everything that Google Assistant will no longer do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Play and control Google Play Books audiobooks with our voice<\/strong>. However, it will allow us to play audiobooks from our mobile device. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set up multimedia, music, or radio alarms on devices with Google Assistant<\/strong>. Alternatively, you can create a custom Routine that does practically the same thing. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Access or manage your recipe book<\/strong>, transfer recipes between devices, play videos, or display step-by-step recipes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manage timers on Smart Displays and speakers<\/strong>. However, you can still program your alarms and timers. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use your voice to call another device or send a message to the family group. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You also won&#8217;t be able to send emails, videos, or audios with your voice<\/strong>. Now, Google Assistant will only let you make calls and send text messages. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reorganize events on your calendar. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use App Launcher in Google Assistant&#8217;s Driving Mode within Google Maps to <strong>send messages, make calls, and control multimedia content. <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schedule announcements related to the Family Bell. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Meditate<\/strong> with <strong>Calm<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Voice control of physical activities on Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check your sleep summaries<\/strong>. It will only be available on Google Smart Displays. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calls made from speakers and Smart Displays will not display their information (unless you use Duo). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See <strong>estimated travel times to work<\/strong> on Smart Displays. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check travel itineraries. <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask for information about your contacts. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask to send payments, make reservations, or post on social media. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you use any of these commands with Google
