It was recently confirmed that the Google Assistant intended for use on iOS received a significant update which surprised a lot of observers and digital marketers. This is because the said update is responsible for allowing the setup and activation of the Google Assistant on iPhone easier than ever. Given the said move, many iPhone users found out that the entire process of activating the Google Assistant on their phones was similar to what Android phone users have experienced. However, it was found out that to accomplish the activation, iPhone users are still prompted to go through Siri first. This simply means that users are prompted to say “Hey Siri” or hold down the power button of the latest iPhone models or the home button of the older models. By doing such, they can easily say “OK Google” or any of the available voice commands that they want. Aside from the information provided earlier, the news regarding the latest update on the Google Assistant for iPhones also revealed the steps involved in the activation process and these are the following.
Step 1: Check the iPhone’s iOS version The first thing that must be done by iPhone users to activate Google Assistant on their phone is to check the version of their gadget’s iOS. This is because the Google Assistant is proven to work only on iOS version 12 and higher. Step 2: Download the Google Assistant app After checking the iOS version, an iPhone user should download the Google Assistant from the App Store. After downloading, open the app and tap the button found on the bottom right corner of the device. Upon doing such, you will find the “add Google Assistant to Siri” option. Tap on the icon which states that “Add to Siri.” Step 3: Record the command After tapping the “Add to Siri” icon, the user will then be prompted to record a voice command. At this point, the user is given the option to use the suggested “OK Google” command. Furthermore, they are also allowed to record any other command.

Twitter has recently released its latest official quarterly report for the third period of 2018, and this has shocked a lot of website owners, SEO practitioners and digital marketers. This is because the figures included in the report revealed that there was a great drop in the total monthly Twitter user count on the above-mentioned period. Based on the said report, Twitter has lost about 9 million Twitter users. The same report also revealed that the monthly active users or MAUs of the company were trimmed down from about 335 million to only 326 million. Although the difference is quite huge, Twitter was not that shocked. They consider this as an expected loss. Although such a statement can be regarded as Twitter’s way of reducing the impact of losing 9 million MAU, a lot of experts believe that Twitter is telling the truth. This is because Twitter gave a stern warning to its shareholders a few months ago claiming that they might lose mid-single-digit millions of MAUs in the coming months.
Experts have also hinted that Twitter’s anticipation and the tremendous drop in the number of MAUs were caused by the company’s initiative that was launched primarily to clean up Twitter by removing bots that are user base, bad actors and inactive accounts. It simply means that the drop of MUAs was triggered by Twitter’s efforts of actively removing suspicious and spammy accounts. Also, the campaign is also responsible for the prevention of creating new spammy and suspicious accounts. Given such numbers, it is correct to conclude that Twitter was able to wipe out more spammy and suspicious accounts as well as in preventing the addition of new accounts. Finally, Twitter hinted that they are expecting the loss in MAUs to continue and they will most likely lose the same amount by next quarter. |
