Coming to the world of technology, most of the Android users must be aware of, an update to the latest addition, called ‘Google Now’. One of the coolest features added in KitKat. If you were previously an iPhone user and have recently shifted to Android, all your prayers are about to be attended to with the help of this bad boy. Google Now is definitely your new best friend and the ultimate alternate to Siri, and its integration with Google Services is simply a bonus to its handiness.

Therefore, with the help of Google Now you are bound to become almost like royalty in your own castle, where everything goes your way.

Then with the help of your magical voice command, get all you need done by simply saying what you desire make your wish and Poof! There you have it. Watch how the microphone icon starts shaking while you are stating your command, just for confirmation if Google Now hears what you are saying.

Google Now tends to meet the level of the most efficient helping hand you could have asked for. Never miss a meeting, your special one’s birthday or any important event in your life again!
