How do I get Google to recognize my device?

If you’re having trouble setting up Google Assistant, there are a few things to check first. If you’ve already set up Google Home, or if you’ve set up your phone as the primary device, but still can’t use the assistant or get any results when talking to it, there may be an issue with either your phone’s screen unlock feature or Digital Wellbeing.

Setting up Google Assistant on your phone

To set up Google Assistant on your phone, go to google.com/assistant and click on the blue button that says “Set Up Your Phone.” Follow the steps that appear to link your phone with Google Assistant.

If you’re having trouble setting up Google Assistant:

Make sure that both phones are connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data and have enough battery power for voice recognition (at least 80%).
If one of your phones has a lock screen, unlock it before starting setup; otherwise, follow these steps: On an Android device: Open Settings > Apps & notifications > App info or Manage app (depending on device). On an iPhone or iPad: Open Settings > General > Restrictions then turn off Siri while setting up Google Assistant

Set up the Google Home app

Download and open the Google Home app.
Tap on the plus sign in the top right corner to begin setup.
Tap “Set up” when prompted by the app, then allow access to your phone’s camera, microphone, and location services.

The rest of this process is self-explanatory; just follow along!

Get the right mobile device

Google Assistant is only available on phones with Android 6.0 or higher, so if you have an older device and are looking for a new one, make sure it supports Google Assistant.

Google Home app is only available on phones with Android 5.0 or higher, so if you want to use the Google Home app for setup and/or troubleshooting purposes but don’t want to buy a new phone just yet (or ever), then pick up a compatible tablet instead!

Activate your phone’s screen unlock feature

To set up your phone’s screen unlock feature, open the Settings menu and select Lock Screen. Then, tap Screen Security and turn on Find My Device.

If you have a PIN, pattern, or password already set up on your device:

Set up a new password that is not too easy to guess by someone else (avoid words from popular books or movies). Make sure it isn’t too hard for you either–you don’t want to forget it!
Enter this new password into Find My Device when prompted by Google Assistant or another app that uses the same feature.

Set up Digital Wellbeing for Android Pie

To get started, open Android Pie and go to Settings > Digital Wellbeing. From here, you can view your current usage stats and set up app timers to limit how much time you spend on individual apps. If you want to know more about how it works or what else Digital Wellbeing can do for you, we have a full guide available here!

If you’re having trouble with setting up Google Assistant, you may need to troubleshoot some of your settings.

Go to the Google Assistant settings page.
Check that your phone is set up as the right device for this feature.
Make sure that your screen unlock feature is turned on and working correctly.
Check that your Digital Wellbeing settings are correct (you can check them by opening the Digital Wellbeing app). If they’re not right, go back and make sure everything is configured properly before continuing with these steps!
If all else fails: Restarting your phone will often fix any problems caused by software glitches or other issues with permissions/settings/etc., so try doing that first if nothing else works!

If you’re having trouble setting up Google Assistant, it could be a sign that something is wrong with your phone’s settings. We recommend that you check to make sure everything is configured properly before moving on to troubleshooting other issues. In this article, we covered how to set up the Google Home app and get started with Digital Wellbeing on Android Pie devices. We also provided some tips for activating the screen unlock feature in order to use voice commands more easily when your phone moves between different locations like home or work.”
