The Google Assistant has been around for a little over one year. Introduced with Google Allo, the assistant later found it’s way into the Google Pixel smartphones. A few months earlier, the Assistant was introduced for all Android smartphones running Android 6.0 and above.
Ever since it’s inception, the Google Assistant has had a feminine voice. However, a day before the gen-next Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones came out, Google introduced a male voice for the Assistant. Let us take a closer look at this and how to enable the male voice in Google Assistant.
You can now set a male voice for your Google Assistant
Smartphone assistants usually tend to have a female voice. This is primarily done because we results have reported over the years that people usually trust instructions and directions coming from a feminine voice more than a male voice. Feminine voices are perceived as helpful while male voices are generally thought of as authoritative, as per studies. However for those who want a change in the voice, you can now set a male voice in the Google Assistant.
Before you proceed to change the voice of your Assistant, know that for now it works only if your phone’s language is set to English (US). It is soon expected to roll out for other languages as well. However for now this is the only limitation.
Step 1: Trigger the Google Assistant by saying OK Google or by pressing and holding the home button.
Step 2: Click on the three dots that appear on the top right corner of the Assistant
Step 3: Tap on settings and then tap on Preferences
Voice I is the female voice and Voice II is the male voice.
Step 4: Over there you’d find a new option – Assistant Voice.
Step 5: In this Assistant voice setting you can change the voice of your Google Assistant to a male voice by selecting Voice II.

Puerto Rico has been making it to the news almost every day because of tragic reasons. A hurricane has brought life on the region to a standstill and rehabilitation efforts have now begun. However, following the devastating hurricane, internet connectivity in the region has been down – and Google is now planning to help restore it.
Google parent Alphabet has as secret research arm ‘X’ where they work on a lot of wacky ideas which can change our perspective of things. One such idea is providing internet to areas with no connectivity with the help of giant balloons – Project Loon.

Puerto Rico is all set to get emergency connectivity which will help them get back online with the help of Google’s Project Loon. Google just received an experimental license from the FCC which will allow them to provide emergency connectivity to Puerto Rico with the help of their giant air balloons.
The company has been testing Project Loon for a while now. While Puerto Rico might be the next place this comes at. the technology was tested in Peru earlier this year in May.
Google’s Project Loon will help restore internet and cellular connectivity in Puerto Rico
In May, Peru and nearby regions were affected by a major flood. Google’s Project Loon helped bring back internet connectivity in Lima, Chimbote, and Piura. Google claims that more than 160 GB of data was “sent to people over a combined area of 40,000 km2.” A similar service is now expected to be brought to Puerto Rico which will help the citizens connect with each other.
As per the reports from the FCC, 83 percent of cell sites in Puerto Rico are out of service, 57 percent for the US Virgin Islands, and 100 percent for St. John. This is how devastating the hurricane was. The only thing that Google now awaits is tying up with a local telecom company – once that is done, expect internet to be beamed upon Puerto Rico with the help of Google powered air-balloons!
