Well, I don't have that behavior on my Nexus tablet, so I don't think what you're experiencing is typical behavior for Android. You may want to ask about this on an Android list to get help getting it resolved. On 30/05/16 19:41, Mary Otten wrote: I believe you're wrong about the default

I believe you're wrong about the default apps. When I tell Google to launch settings, I get this dialogue asking me do I want to launch settings. There is only one settings app on my phone. That is just the latest example. But this is an iOS list, so this discussion is off-topic. Mary Sent

OK Google does have a set of music commands. Check out http://www.cnet.com/how-to/complete-list-of-ok-google-commands/ Also, you shouldn't always be getting a dialog asking if you indeed want to run an app. I suspect this is because you have multiple apps on your phone which can all do the

Well, I am not subscribed to Google play music. I know you can get some of it for free. But I don't think you can ask Google assistant to play such and such a song from Google music, can you? I have a hard enough time getting google to just open an app without presenting me with some stupid

What is missing on the android side for Apple Music experience? Now from an excess ability point of view, there are some things missing, since there are some unlabeled buttons there that are not on the iPhone side. So, sloppy programming by somebody at Apple. And, since, at least from my point

Once again, I disagree Mary. Apple needs to loosen up and let Apple Music and agree with Amazons Alexa, as well as Google's assistant. Just because the app is on android doesn't mean that it's the same experience, and it should be across all platforms. Sent from my iPhone 6S Plus > On May 30,

You really don't need to mess with the iPhone app to change user profiles. If you have two different people in your household, both of whom have Amazon accounts, each can have a profile on your echo. To change profiles, you simply tell the echo to change from person A to person be profile. The

As far as I know these type of requests to Alexa only work if you are using the Amazon Music echo system, I don't think they work with music actually on your iOS device or with music in the Apple Music ecosystem. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com
