Yes, as the title says, Google Assistant is now able to read for you SMS messages and more.
Google's digital assistant can read your SMS, Facebook Messenger, or Hangouts messages. Simply say "I have any messages?" Or "Show me my last message" and Google Assistant will read you the latest messages on your mobile.
Google Assistant's ability to read messages is available today on Pixel, Pixel XL, and other Android smartphones. Google Assistant is available for Android users marshmallow or Nougat.
To add Google Assistant, on Marshmallow or Nougat you will need to update to version 6.13 of the Google app, your device must have a resolution of 720p or higher, and at least 1.5 GB of free μνήμηs RAM.
Google Assistant can also send messages through WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, SMS, and other chat services.
The addition of reading text messages comes at a time when Google and Amazon are trying to extend the traditional functions of virtual assistant phones.
Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that both Amazon and Google plan to develop a feature that allows voice phone calls. Citing anonymous sources, last weekteam Recode reported that Alexa also plans to release a similar device that will be able to automatically make phone calls with voice commands or act as an intercom system.
