Even after the launch of Google assistant in the latest android version from Google android Nougat, many people are still stuck with using Google Now. There might be many reasons for that. Their phone may not support the Nougat upgrade or just they don’t want to, but there are a lot of things that one can do using the Google Now on tap. Let me present you some of its little-known features for you

  • For finding the meaning of a word in your smartphone stop doing the process of copying and pasting the word in Google search, but there is actually a simple thing that you can use to find the meaning of a word while you surf the web or read something. Just select the word for which you need to know the meaning for and then long press the home button, it will show the meaning automatically.
