Google is bringing its clever Assistant to Android TV, smartwatches and cars

If you’ve tried Google’s Home device, you’ve probably encountered its smart voice-activated Assistant, delivering relevant information from the Web and playing music and video on demand. At CES in Las Vegas, the company announced that it’s bringing Assistant to your TV, as well as Android Wear smartwatches and in-car entertainment systems.

Google’s rival to Siri and Alexa will become available on Android TV-based televisions and set-top boxes running Android Marshmallow 6.0 or newer, to do things like playing content from Netflix, searching YouTube for specific videos, control your connected home devices such as lights and speakers, and ask questions like “What are mastodons?” and “How long will it take me to get to work?”

That means you won’t need a Google Home to enjoy the benefits of having Google Assistant around – simply turn on your TV and you’ll be able to invoke it by saying, “OK Google”.

The feature will become available in the coming months in the US on devices like the Nvidia Shield, Xiaomi Mi Box, and Android TVs like Sony’s Bravia screens. While some of these will require a voice remote, the Nvidia Shield will work completely hands-free, so you can wake Assistant from anywhere in the room without picking up a device.

The company noted that over time, Assistant will also show up in smartwatches running

WhatsApp Now Lets You Pin Your Favourite Chats on Top

HIGHLIGHTS The feature is still being tested in the Android beta The latest WhatsApp beta lets you pin chats on top A maximum of three chats can be pinned WhatsApp has  reportedly  been testing many new features recently to make chats more fun and convenient, and another such feature has come to light. The new  WhatsApp  feature allows users to pin conversations with their favourite contacts to the top to the Chats tab. The new feature is being tested on Android for now, but is expected to roll out to stable versions of the app soon. Android Police was the first one to  spot  the new WhatsApp pinning feature, and if you're running WhatsApp beta for Android versions 2.17.162 or 2.17.163, you'll most likely be able to use it. Press on the individual/ group chat you want to pin to the top, and choose the Pin symbol from the top bar. The other options alongside  Pin  are  Delete ,  Mute , and  Archive . Once you pin a chat, it will remain on the top of your

WhatsApp adds GIF search through Giphy, raises maximum media sharing limit from 10 to 30

WhatsApp's ability to send GIFs in different forms and ways has been rolling out super slowly. First we could  convert videos and share them as GIFs , then the beta app let us  share GIFs saved on our devices , then the Web client added support for GIF search and insertion, and now finally the last piece of the puzzle is here: we can now search for, choose, and send GIFs from the WhatsApp app on our Android phones, no need for a separate Giphy client, the GBoard app, or to have the GIFs saved on our phones beforehand. The function shows up when you tap the emoji button in WhatsApp's text box. There's a new bottom bar that lets you switch between emoji to GIF. You can then scroll through popular GIFs and insert them right away or search Giphy for a keyword to find the appropriate animation for your current state.   Regardless of how late this feature has been implemented, it is positively awesome. Case in point:   Another change showing in the WhatsApp app is t
