Google’s very own smart assistant, the Google Home ecocsytem, can be accessed from a number of smart speakers, other devices, and services. In the United Kingdom, Google Home owners will be happy to know they can use the smart home device for hands-free calling. This is made possible by the Google Assistant which offers a number of smart features and functionalities to otherwise ordinary gadgets. It’s only this week the additional feature is made available so you can start saying, “Hey Google, call my mum…” to make a call. Phone calls are done over Wi-Fi connection only.
