Good news! You can now download Google Assistant in the App Store.

If you have not heard of Siri, here is a chance:
According to webopedia.com “Siri is a built-in intelligent assistant that enables users of Apple iPhone 4S and later and newer iPad and iPod Touch devices to speak natural language voice commands in order to operate the mobile device and its apps.”

Siri’s current version is placed lower than Google Assistant as the latter is rated a more capable voice assistant. Due to third-party integrations available in Google Assistant, it gives users a chance to ask more intricate queries.
