Google Announces iPad Support for Google Assistant

As of March 13, Google Assistant is rolling out on iPad in English and six other languages. This means iPad users will now have the same functionality they’ve had since last year on iPhones. The release for iPad is fully functional, including all the features of the existing iPhone app, but the iPad version also takes advantage of the tablet’s bigger screen with both portrait and landscape modes.

With Google Assistant on the iPad, users can ask questions, make phone calls, or control smart home devices associated with their Google Home accounts. Since iOS 11 allows multitasking with a split screen, the addition of Google Assistant means you can keep using the tablet for productivity or gaming while also interacting with the Assistant.

Google Assistant is available from the Apple App Store. Just search for Google Assistant or tap here.

Brad Parker: Hi, my name's Brad Parker and I'm a software engineer by trade, with more than 20 years of experience in developing software and websites. I've got an incredible wife and two rambunctious boys under 3 years old. All of them are getting used to my experiments with smart devices, voice assistants, and home automation. Growing up surrounded by the Internet of Things, my boys will never think it's surprising that you can just say "OK Google, Good Night" and the garage will close, doors lock, and the lights turn off. They'll only know that as long as they can remember, whenever they first walk into the kitchen in the morning, the lights will turn on dimly and they'll hear the weather and a recap of yesterday's news. That's what seamless smart home automation is about, and it's why I created Upgrade Your Space.
