8.10 Keep notes
A note taking application developed by Google.
You can insert images, lists, and make voice recordings
in your notes. You can also set time or location-
based reminders for notes. Google Keep allows you to
categorise notes by labels, and notes are searchable
based on their colour, whether they have reminders,
audio, images, or lists.
8.11 Google Assistant
Devices can have a dedicated hardware button for
the Google Assistant (GA-button). With a GA-button,
users can launch the Google Assistant in three different
modes: Default , Visual snapshot, and Walk talkie.
• Default — Single press to activate
Default mode is the same as launching the Google
Assistant by long-pressing on the home button.
• Walkie-talkie — Long press and hold to activate
Walkie-talkie mode launches the Google Assistant
with microphone auto-endpointing turned
off. Microphone auto-endpointing is used to
automatically close the microphone and finalise a
user query in default mode. In walkie-talkie mode, the
microphone remains open until the user releases the
GA-button. When the user releases the GA-button,
the microphone closes and the Assistant sends the
user query.
8.12 Files

both external SD card and internal storage, such as
applications, media files downloaded from Google Play
Store, YouTube or other locations; Videos, pictures or
audios you have captured; other data transferred via
Bluetooth, USB cable, etc.
