Google continues to improve its screen assistants so that we use it more and more. In fact, prepare one that we can turn into a full tablet, something similar to what Lenovo has with the Smart Tab, but focused on its assistant instead of Alexa.
But the improvements also come from the software part since the company has announced a new function for its speakers with screen, the Google Nest Hub: anniversary notice.
Google will notify you in advance of certain birthdays
In the update that is beginning to reach users of these devices, Google has enabled a function with which we will have the notification of certain birthdays on the screen of our assistant.
Unlike what happens with normal reminders, these notices will appear days in advance, which is necessary if we want to buy a gift or book a dinner at the restaurant.
Of course, while we’ve already explained that the best way to list birthdays is in the Google Contacts app, not every birthday we have will show up on the Assistant screen.
For it to remind us of a birthday in time, we must mark contacts as important. We can do this in the Google Home app. Let’s not confuse this with favorites in the Contacts app.
How to star contacts and assign birthdays
What we need to do is set birthdays if we haven’t already. To do this, we follow these steps:
- We open Google Home.
- We click on our avatar.
- Click Assistant Settings.
- We select the You option.
- Let’s go to favorite contacts.
- We click on one of them.
- We fill in the birthday field.
- We save.
If we want to hide the warning, we simply have to leave it by pressing on the assistant screen and selecting the Hide option.
The rollout has started with users who have their accounts in English, but hopefully everyone else will soon have them.
