Washington: Google has released an update to Google Now that allows users to dictate and send messages using messaging apps, including WhatsApp and Viber.
The Google Now will be able to send messages using WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat, Telegram and NextPlus in English at launch, though Google plans to add more support for apps and languages in the future.
The users have to specify which app to use by saying 'OK, Google, send a WhatsApp message to ABC' and it will make and send the message through the proper service.
Some of the apps supported by the new Google Now instant messaging feature are WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat, Telegram and NextPlus. It is worth noting that users should have the latest version of both the messaging app and Google Search app to use this feature. The search giant adds that this feature currently supports English language only, but would add other languages later.
Last month Google's Chrome for Android browser adopted what seems to be a basic version of 'Now on Tap' feature, dubbed Touch to Search. The feature lets users access extra details on any word displayed within the content.
