Install and use Google Assistant on iPhone - Here's how

You can also install and use the Google Assistant on a German iPhone, although the Siri competition has so far only been intended for the American market. You can find out how in a practical step.

Download Google Assisant - so it'll work

To download the Google Assistant, you need to go to the US app store. However, since you then have to provide a credit card that is issued to an American address, you should better create a new Apple ID.

1. Create a new Apple ID on the Apple website. Be sure to provide an email address that has not yet been used by Apple. When selecting the country, be sure to select "United States".
2. You will then receive a six-digit code on the email address provided. Enter it on the Apple website for confirmation.
3. Once you have successfully selected the new Apple ID, open "Settings -> Tunes & App Store" on your iPhone. Here, tap on the Apple ID and select "Sign out".
4. Now log in with the new Apple ID and password. You will receive a message that this ID has never been used. Confirm this message and select "United States" again in the window that opens.
5. Now you have to confirm the terms and conditions and select "None" as payment method.
6. In the last step, an address that is valid in the USA is requested. Since you probably don't have such an address, you can create a fake US address on the Fake Address Generator website and use it.
7. Now you have access to the US app store and can download the Google Assistant onto your iPhone.

Set up and use the Google Assistant - Here's how

1. If you have successfully downloaded the Google Assistant onto the iPhone, start the app and log in with your Google Account using "Sign in".
2. Before use, you have to grant the Google Assistant a few rights and start the setup by tapping "Yes I'm in".
3. After the one-time setup, you can use the intelligent assistant. To do this, tap the microphone icon in the bottom bar and ask your question.
4. However, the Google Assistant is currently only available in English. So you have to ask your questions in English. But you can also use the keyboard to enter questions or commands - and in this way also in German, the Assistant understands.
