Google Maps for iOS Gets Google Assistant Integration

Google has announced that it's rolling out Google Assistant integration to Google Maps for iOS and Android starting today.

With just your voice, you'll be able to share your ETA with friends and family, reply to text messages, play music and podcasts, search for places along your route, add a new stop and auto-punctuate your message.

On Android, the Assistant will work with messaging services from the following providers: SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger, Hangouts, Viber, Telegram, Android Messages and more.


When you’re driving, the Assistant automatically calculates your ETA from Google Maps if you want to send your arrival time to friends. Just say “Hey Google, take me home,” to open Google Maps and get help from your Assistant on your journey.

You can download Google Maps from the App Store for free.
