While iOS boasts Siri and Android features Google Now, Microsoft is bridging the gap by introducing Cortana to Android. Find out how to set it up with our easy instructions.
Cortana, once exclusive to Windows Phone, is now available on Android. Unleash the power of this virtual assistant on your device by following our installation and usage guide.
Learn how to install and use Cortana on Android, your virtual assistant app.
Step 1: Firstly, download the latest version of Cortana.
Get Cortana for Android here.
- Note: As the app is currently in trial version and restricted in some countries including Vietnam. Therefore, to download, choose to download the APK file from the link below as described in the image.
Step 6: Within the user interface, the app introduces a new feature to unlock the screen using Cortana. To activate this feature, simply tap on Enable Cortana on your lock screen as indicated within the app.
Step 7: The app interface is also quite straightforward, featuring 3 main tabs: Calendar, Add New Task, and News.
The main content and features are likely located in the bottom left corner of the app, where you can find all the functions. You can use Cortana to search for information on the Internet, make calls to someone, or look up information stored on your smartphone, such as viewing appointments, work schedules, etc. Additionally, you can also use Cortana to set reminders, schedule tasks, etc.
To activate the voice control feature on Cortana, tap on the microphone icon in the bottom right corner of the Cortana app, then issue a command to instruct Cortana.
One downside of this app is its limited support for only English language, meaning you can only command Cortana in English. This could be restrictive for users not proficient in English. However, for those looking to improve their English pronunciation, you can enable Cortana and use it as a speaking practice tool to check if Cortana can accurately understand your speech.
With the instructions provided above, hopefully, you can easily install and use Cortana on Android before the app becomes widely available and releases its final version for other countries. Along with this app, as mentioned earlier, you can also explore another new feature on Cortana, which is unlocking the screen. By once again providing guidance on unlocking the screen using Cortana, Mytour hopes to enhance your app experience. Best of luck.
