Google Assistant On iPhone: Company Wants To Bring Virtual Assistant To Other Smartphones

If Google has its way, it might be bringing its virtual assistant to other smartphone platforms. In an interview at Mobile World Congress, Gummi Hafsteinsson -- product management director at Google -- said it wants to port Google's virtual assistant to competing smartphones according to a report from Geekster. "I do not think we have anything to announce at this point," Hafsteinsson said. "But I think the general philosophy is that we would like to have the Assistant available to as many people as possible." Hafsteinsson's statement followed Google confirming that Google Assistant would be available on Android TV and Android Auto platforms.
