Assuming you would like to use Google Assistant with your phone when the home is listening:

You can say "Hey Google" to start a conversation with your Google Assistant. If you have more than one Google Assistant enabled device, make sure the device you're using is unlocked and within earshot.

If your device is locked, you can still say "Hey Google" to open the Assistant, but you'll need to unlock your device to continue the conversation.

You can also say "OK Google" to start a conversation with your Google Assistant.

To use the Google Assistant with your phone when the home is listening:

Open the Google Assistant app on your phone.
Tap the blue icon with a white mic in the center.
Say "Hey Google."
The Google Assistant will respond and you can ask it questions or give it commands.

Thanks for the question! Here are some simple steps that you can take to use "Hey Google" with your device when the home is listening:

Check if your device is compatible. Most Android phones support the "Hey Google" feature. Check if your device is among them by going to the Google assistant settings.
Ensure that you have the latest version of Google App installed. To do so, go to Play store and search for the Google App. Tap the update button if available.
Download selections in the Google Assistant settings to activate voice match. This will ensure that your device responds to “Hey Google” even when the home is listening. Make sure you have a good internet connection.
Make sure you have an active internet connection. You will need access to the internet for google to identify your voice for quick access.

Change the language settings to ‘English (US)’. It will allow your device to recognize the “Hey Google” command.

Activate the Voice Match feature. A prompt will guide you through the setup process. Once the setup is complete, your device can be used with “Hey Google” command even when the home is listening.
