Google Assistant will be removing seventeen features in the coming weeks

The Google Assistant will lose some weight, as at least 17 “underused” features will be removed in the coming weeks.

In a recent announcement postthe tech giant says it wants to focus on the parts of its digital assistant that people actually use, so it will get rid of the parts that see little interaction. A list of upcoming removed features can be found at the Google Help website. They include playing audiobooks on Google Play Books via voice commands and asking for information about your contacts. For each feature that is removed, the company recommends fixes that you can use to replicate the same action. For example, even though users can’t control audiobooks with their voice, they can still cast them from a mobile device.
