Siri vs. Google Assistant – Which Assistant Is Best for You?

Android and Apple fans have always argued about which phone is better. Now they can debate which digital assistant is better.

Apple’s Siri first came to the iPhone in October of 2011 with the iPhone 4s. Now Siri is available on many other Apple products, such as iPad, AppleTV, Mac computers, and more.

You can use Siri to check your email, get directions, start a video call, send a text message, find photos, check the weather, and many other things.

One thing you should not do is ask Siri to divide zero by zero!

Google Assistant is a new digital assistant, having recently arrived on the Pixel and Pixel XL phones and the Google Home smart speaker. Google Assistant works with other Google services such as Gmail, Google Flights, Google Photos and Google Maps.

The more you use Google, the more useful Google Assistant becomes. However, the choice between an iPhone that has Siri and an Android phone that has Google Assistant should not be made based on the assistant it uses.

Assistants can be improved through updates that add new powers. Choose the phone that works best for you and learn what its assistant can do to help you the most.
