An Almost Complete List of All Okay

Google Commands
Posted by Jamie on August 17, 2018

The title should really say ‘A complete list of all OK Google commands as of when
we updated this article’ as there seem to be new ones appearing fairly regularly.
However, this list is current as of August 2018.

Not everyone has heard of Google Now, because Google has not pushed its voice-
activated assistant services as much as Amazon (Alexa) and Microsoft (Cortana)
and Apple (Siri) have, but that doesn’t mean that the platform isn’t being actively
developed. OK Google commands are rolled out, usually along with Android
updates. You can always check the comprehensive of cial list here (http://ok-

As long as you don’t have a strong regional accent, you should only need to say a
few words for Google Now to be able to recognize your voice.

Now to those OK Google commands, organized by category! The CAPITAL words

are the variables you can give to OK Google with each command, for example,
“How old is Barack Obama?” Note that you can and should experiment with some
of these to see how exible the command can be. I can’t list every possibility for
every variable.

I’m not a huge fan of voice command, but I know many people who are, and the
trend does appear to be moving in that direction. I guess I’m a little old school and
prefer typing. Regardless of my old habits, many people use OK Google regularly
to speed up phone functions and make their lives easier. I think that trend will
only increase as voice recognition becomes more accurate and more
sophisticated and we get more used to talking to our devices. Where will it end?

Do you have a favorite OK Google voice command? Know of any more Easter eggs
that are worth trying? Tell us about them below if you do!

Hi,
I would need some advice: when I say a command it does understand it, but not executing the
command but provides search results …
For example: “Schedule an appointment” then it shows me tons of links with scheduling aps,
tips to use calendars, etc … but does not schedule the meeting.
Same with “open gmail” – sometimes it does open it, but most of the cases search for this
expression.
Any tips what is going wrong here?

You can use an app like Tasker combined with AutoInput. They’re paid apps but not
expensive and need con guration to set up the tasks (work like macros if you’ve used
something like that in MS Of ce, Excel etc). There are a host of instructions and tutorials
online and members of the community on websites like Reddit are always happy to help.
