How many times have we forgotten to deactivate or at least change the alarm that wakes us up to go to work, so sleep is interrupted in the early hours of the morning even on holidays when instead you could sleep a little more?
Weekends are hard to forget because they are part of the routine, but when a single holiday breaks the week, the risk is there. He should have patched up that personal butler who is, or at least tries to be, Google Assistant.
A Canadian user reported on Reddit that they received a notification from Assistant last night before going to bed. Today, July 1st is Canada Day, so the intelligent assistant took care to make sure that the user remembered it, imagining that he might want to change the “usual” alarm (and yes, the boy in question is lucky enough with the alarm clock at 9:30 in the morning, ed ). By tapping on the notification, Assistant takes you to the Alarm tab of the Clock app.
The discovery is doubly interesting because being a concern of the Assistant potentially regardless of the smartphone used: the user, for example, seems to be in possession of a Pixel 2 XL, a product that has completed the cycle of updates by now in October 2020 and therefore does not receives more firmware and related news. So at least on the Pixels, the new Assistant function should cover all generations, we need to understand if it is active on smartphones of other brands with the Google Clock app installed.
It’s not a killer feature and it’s not perfect either (the user hasn’t spared some criticism), but it’s certainly nice and Google can work on it to make it better, and more effective. We hope at least that the rollout is large and that it does not remain an isolated episode.
