To open Google Now, Swipe right from the first Home screen
or touch & hold the Home button from any screen. Updates
appear in the form of Google Now cards. When you don’t
need a card anymore, swipe it from left to right. Swiping from
right to left returns you to the main Home screen.

What you can ask Google to do for you
When you use Google Now, you can search, get directions,
and create reminders just by talking to your device. For
example, say “Ok Google, do I need an umbrella tomorrow?”
to see if there’s rain in the weather forecast.
To see other examples of what you can say, visit “Ok Google”
and voice search. You can say most of these examples in
English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian,
Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, but some examples aren’t
available in all of these languages.
If you want to say “Ok Google” in languages other than
English, you also need to change the main language on your
device. Visit Change your languages on Google.
Turn “Ok Google” on or off
You can start a search or action by saying “Ok Google.” To
turn this feature off or on, open Google Now or the Google
app and touch menu > Settings > Voice > “Ok
Google” detection.
Now on tap
In Android 6.0, Google Now can also provide you with relevant
suggestions based on the content currently on your screen.
This feature is called Now on Tap. Just tap and hold the
Home button, and Google Now will show related cards that
might be helpful.
For example, if a friend emails you about going to a new
restaurant, you can tap and hold to quickly see reviews, make
a reservation, or navigate to the restaurant in the Now card
