‘Ok Google’ voice commands are a little bit more interesting for Lollipop users this morning, with the discovery that you can now toggle Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and your Flashlight with a simple command.
Simply using the ‘Ok Google’ command followed by the appropriate command brings up a floating Google Now card with the toggle switch for the setting, as well as giving you an audible confirmation of the command. The setting seems to work from your home screen, as well as in Google Now.
It’s a pretty neat feature, but is definitely Lollipop only, with Kitkat devices simply opening up the settings for each command. If you have Lollipop, try it out for yourself and see what you think or if you find some other settings available via voice commands.
Flashlight works for me on Vodafone HTC One M8, running the latest standard 4.4.4 release. No root or custom roms.
Must be to do with the HTC flashlight app as it opens that rather than the card toggle shown above using “ok google turn on flashlight”
WiFi and Bluetooth still just brings up settings pages as described above.
This awesome. I love it.
