Nothing adds Google Assistant and Siri support to its wireless earbuds
Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Nothing has added voice assistant support to its Ear 1 earbuds, allowing you to summon either Google Assistant or Siri with a triple-tap, the company announced on Twitter. The addition comes as something of a surprise given Nothing originally told Android Central it had no plans to add voice assistant support to the Ear 1.
According to 9to5Google, the functionality is rolling out with firmware version 0.6700.1.86, and also supports Amazon's Alexa in addition to both mobile OS's native voice assistants. Unfortunately, it sounds like the feature is currently a little buggy, with 9to5Google reporting the earbuds sometimes fail to register that all-important third tap.
Alexa, play "Nothing Else Matters"
Yeah, it's time to say hey to Google...
