If you like, you can ne-tune some settings, but Google Now doesn’t need any elaborate setup. The information you need is always at your ngertips.](https://usermanual.wiki/HTC/0P82300.Users-Manual-Technical/User-Guide-2425604-Page-14.png)
![ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 11How it worksWhen you decide to use Google Now, you’re also turning on Location Reporting and Location History:• Location Reporting allows Google to periodically store and use your device’s most recent location data in connection with your Google Account. Location Reporting is a per-device setting.• Location History allows Google to store a history of your location data from all devices where you’re logged into your Google Account and have enabled Location Reporting.Google won’t share this information with other users or market-ers without your permission.You can control how Google Now uses your current location. To view the relevant settings, go to Settings > Personal > Location. When location services are turned on for your account on a giv-en device, certain apps can use them to give you more relevant information, such as nearby restaurants or commute trafc.If you opted in to Location History in the past, Google Now uses your previously recorded locations as well as ongoing locations when making suggestions. Turning off Location History pauses the collection of location information, but it doesn’t delete your history.To know when to display what information, Google Now uses contextual data from your device and from other Google prod-ucts, plus data from third-party products that you allow Google Now to access.For example, if you have searches stored in your Web History, Google Now can show cards based on sports scores, flight](https://usermanual.wiki/HTC/0P82300.Users-Manual-Technical/User-Guide-2425604-Page-15.png)
![ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 12status, and so on. To manage your Web History, visit google.com/history/. You can delete or pause your Web History and still use Google Now, but certain kinds of information, such as flight details, won’t show up.Similarly, Google Now can use data that you may have stored in third-party products that you allow Google to access. For ex-ample, your device’s synced calendar may include entries from non-Google calendar products. If you have a synced calendar en-try for a dentist appointment that includes the dentist’s address, Google Now can check trafc and suggest when to leave.Give it a tryYou have a chance to turn on Google Now when you rst set up your phone or tablet. You can turn also turn it on or off at any time:1. Touch the Google search bar on a Home screen. 2. Touch Get Google Now if you don’t already have it. Or, to access the menu for the next step, perform a Google search for anything. 3. Open Menu > Settings and turn it on (or off) from there. To open Google Now, follow the steps for your device:• All Nexus devices: Swipe your nger up from the bottom of any screen.• Nexus 5: In addition to swiping up from any screen, you can swipe to the leftmost Home screen.• Google Play edition devices: Touch & hold the Home button.When you want to see more cards, touch More at the bottom of the screen. When you don’t need them any more, swipe them out of the way.](https://usermanual.wiki/HTC/0P82300.Users-Manual-Technical/User-Guide-2425604-Page-16.png)

![ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 14IMPORTANT: To detect when you say “Ok Google” to launch Voice Search or Voice Actions, Google analyzes sound picked up by your device’s microphone in intervals of a few seconds or less. The sound is immediately dis-carded after analysis and is not stored on the device or sent to Google.To see some examples of what you can tell Google to do, say or type “help”.Turn hotword detection on or offThe ability to trigger a search or action by saying “Ok Google” is called hotword detection. To turn it off or on, open Google Now or the Google app and touch Menu > Settings > Voice > Hotword detection.Voice SearchSpoken answers are supported for English only at this time.

The answer can be a fact, weather condi-tion, stock price, flight status, sports score, currency conversion, mathematical calculation, and more. Spoken answers are turned on by default for Voice Search.For examples and more details, visit Voice Search.](https://usermanual.wiki/HTC/0P82300.Users-Manual-Technical/User-Guide-2425604-Page-18.png)
