Google Assistant can indeed hang up calls and control your phone, but not without some limitations. You can use voice commands to end a call, but it only works if you initiated the call through Google Assistant.

To hang up a call, simply say "Hey Google, hang up" or "Okay Google, end call." This will disconnect the call, and you're good to go.

Google Assistant Phone Calls

You can use Google Assistant to make free phone calls to numbers in the US or Canada. If you live outside these countries, you'll need a compatible carrier plan to make calls.

To make a call, simply say "Hey Google, call [phone number]" or "Hey Google, call [contact name]". You can also ask Google to call a business by saying "Hey Google, call [business name]".

Google Assistant can also redial a number by saying "Hey Google, redial". If you need to end a call, you can say "Hey Google, stop/disconnect/end call/hang up".

Setup

To set up hands-free calling with Google Assistant, you'll need a Google Home speaker. Once you have set up your Google Home, you can start calling businesses right away without any further setup.

If you don't have the Google Home app, download it from the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store. This will give you access to the app's features and settings.

Make sure your Google Home app and smart assistant are running the latest firmware. For the Google Home app, this is version 7.17 or higher, and for your smart assistant, it's version 1.50.2291 or higher. You can check the current firmware version by opening the app and tapping More > Settings > About.

Ensure your phone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Google Home. This will allow the two devices to communicate with each other seamlessly.

Before you can start making calls, confirm that the Google Account listed in the app is the one linked to your Google Home. If it's not the same account, you'll need to switch to the correct one by tapping the triangle and selecting the correct account name.

Here are the steps to check and switch accounts:

  • Tap the Menu icon in the upper-left corner of the app
  • Confirm that the Google Account listed is the correct one
  • Tap the triangle and select the correct account name to change accounts
