It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of both Google Assistant and Google’s Smart Displays here at Ausdroid, and as such any time the Assistant ecosystem reaches feature parity with itself it’s a cause for celebration.

This week Google is finally rolling out their ‘Continued Conversations’ feature to all Assistant compatible Smart Displays.

We first heard about this update a few days ago but didn’t see the feature rolling out in Australia, this morning when we checked again there it was.

For those not familiar with the Continued Conversations functionality, the feature will ‘leave the mic open’ after a reply giving you a few seconds to make a follow-up request or start a new conversation without having to say “OK Google” again.

If you’ve got a Google Smart Display then why not give the new continued conversations a go. You’ll find the setting in the Assistant settings, not in the home speaker setting, under ‘Continued Conversations’.
