Google Assistant already speaks Portuguese. Many Android users in the country have been reporting that they are already using Google's virtual assistant in Portuguese.

The Assistant works seamlessly with smartphone system applications and features. This way, you can order a taxi via Uber or control the smart lights in your home. However, as we still don't have Google's official confirmation in Brazil about Assistant Portuguese support, I still can't confirm what features the search giant will offer in the country.

At this time, according to our contact with Google, the Portuguese Assistant is due to be announced in September. According to our readers and community members AndroidPIT, some owners of Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8 can already use Google Assistant in Portuguese, as well as owners of Moto Z and now Moto Maxx.

And, do you already use Google Assistant in Portuguese on your Android? What is the manufacturer and model of your smartphone?
