You can now send Google Pay payments with your voice on Android and iPhone

Google on Thursday announced a new Google Assistant feature: the ability to transfer money to your friends as well as request cash using voice and Google Pay. The feature will work not only on Android smartphones and tablets, but also on iPhones -- as long as Google Assistant is installed on your iOS device, courtesy of the Google app. In the future, smart speakers will also get the functionality. Obviously, to make voice-based money transfers work via Google's Assistant, you need to set up Google Pay on your Google account. That's the actual part that handles the money changing virtual hands.
