This feature, previously limited to Pixel smartphones and tablets, now allows users to control incoming calls using simple voice commands without having to say &#8220;Hey Google&#8221; first.<\/p>\n<p>The update, introduced discreetly by Google and spotted by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2023\/11\/23\/pixel-buds-quick-phrases\/\" class=\"external\">9to5Google<\/a>, allows users to say \u201canswer,\u201d \u201cdecline,\u201d or \u201csilence\u201d to manage incoming calls using their Pixel Buds Pro.  This means that even if your phone is in another room, you can easily answer incoming calls without having to use your device.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s important to note that the Pixel Buds Pro currently only support quick phrases for calls.  Controlling timers and alarms using voice commands still requires the activation phrase &#8220;Hey <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/google\/\"   title=\"Google\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Google<\/a>.&#8221;  Additionally, the Quick Phrases feature remains exclusive to Pixel 6 and newer devices, even when using Pixel Buds Pro.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"gallery-01cc0b6a-0ea0-4156-8285-71a492da2409\" class=\"single-image-container  image-c\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%\">\n<div class=\"gallery-item\">\n<picture style=\"padding-top: 193.8%\"><source media=\"(max-width: 350px)\" ><source media=\"(min-width: 351px) and (max-width: 500px)\" ><source media=\"(min-width: 501px) and (max-width: 800px)\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Google-expands-Assistant-Quick-Phrases-to-handle-incoming-calls-to.jpg\" alt=\"Quick Phrases settings page on Pixel Fold \u2013 Google expands Assistant Quick Phrases to handle incoming calls to Pixel Buds Pro\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>\n<p>Quick Phrases settings page on Pixel Fold<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Google has not yet officially recognized this expansion of Quick Phrase compatibility, and their <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/assistant\/answer\/9475056\" class=\"external\">support page<\/a> still only mentions Pixel smartphones and tablets.  Despite this lack of official recognition, the feature is fully functional on the Pixel Buds Pro.<\/p>\n<p>While Quick Phrases provide a convenient way to interact with Pixel devices without constantly saying &#8220;Hey Google,&#8221; it&#8217;s worth noting that they remain more limited on Pixel devices than on Google Nest products.  For example, as pointed out <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/accessories\/google-quietly-adds-support-for-quick-phrases-with-pixel-buds-pro\" class=\"external\">Android Center<\/a>Nest Hub Max can provide information such as time and weather, and control smart home accessories without the need for a wake-up phrase.<\/p>\n<p>The addition of Quick Phrases to Pixel Buds Pro is a welcome improvement for Pixel users, providing a smoother hands-free experience.  With further development, Quick Phrases could potentially expand to encompass a wider range of actions and devices, further improving the convenience of Google&#8217;s ecosystem.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google expands Assistant Quick Phrases to handle incoming calls to Pixel Buds Pro\u060c Pixel Buds Pro users can now enjoy hands-free control of their Pixel devices thanks to a recent Quick Phrases update.
