I read that blue footer as "unlock more assistant failures"

Or the best one "sorry, I don't hear anything"

And the most infuriating part is that if you go to check the Google search history, it heard and understood exactly what you asked. It just didn't have an answer for that and played dumb in order to not look dumb.

I usually get "sorry, something went wrong." But my absolute favorite is when you have poor cell reception and it literally doesn't say anything. I live in a rural area with poor reception, so that's pretty much my life. I have to drive at least 5 minutes into the city to be able to consistently get Google assistant to not just ignore my requests and pretend I said nothing.

Understandable, though. You know people are just plugging station ID sounders into it and expecting information on the last song that played.

Pixel exclusive feature

I'm not sure I see the connection.

Pixel phones have a feature where they can constantly listen for music and display what the songs that were playing are.

It was my favorite feature about the pixel. It's also a very spooky feature.

I was especially freaked out when I realized it works offline.
