Google has slowly been rolling out Continued Conversation across its smart home devices. Assistant-equipped displayshave only received the featurethat allows you to keep on talking without shouting “OK Google” for every consecutive command in March. It seems like Google is now also preparing to launch Continued Conversation on phones, as evident by a newPhonesetting for the feature which some people are receiving via a Google app update.
A tipster reached out to us to show us the new toggle, visible to him in the Assistant settings under theContinued Conversationentry. Google apparently isn’t quite ready to launch the option on mobile devices, though. The tipster said he flipped on thePhonetoggle, but the Assistant would still stop listening to him after the first command.

The new entry could be related to themore powerful Assistant experiencefirst coming to the Pixel 4. Since the setting is already live in the Google app for a phone with the older Assistant, the continuous mode might also come to devices that won’t support the new version.
The toggle appears to be part of an A / B test, so it can take quite some time until it shows up for you. It might help using the beta version of the Google app, which you cansign up for on the Play Storeor downloadover at APK Mirror.
