However, Google Now is better than Siri and Cortana when it can work on both iOS and Android platform. This app allows you to quickly access to the internet and searching the information, perform apps, play music, scheduling events, etc. All of these things can be done through your voice. For instance, just say “OK, Google”, you will unlock the phone screen without using your hands. However, Google Now looks like a smart app much more than a smart assistant. It doesn’t really know who you are. That’s why Google Assistant comes.
