Siri is the first virtual assistant that provides smartphone control features using voice.

But now it must be admitted that Siri's ability is behind Google Assistant, Bixby and Alexa. That said, what should you know about it?

After Facebook facing issues with some of its platforms not responding last week, it looks like Google is the next to have problems as some of its services are currently down including YouTube, Google Drive, Google Assistant, and more.

Most of the voice assistants require you to say a phrase or word to wake them up before proceeding with making the request. Some users who frequently use a voice assistant through any smart device might find it annoying and wish they didn't have to do that. It is reported that Google is testing with a new feature that lets the Google's smart displays listen to your commands without the need of saying "Hey, Google" or "OK, Google" out loud.

Almost every home electronic product is becoming "smart" nowadays with technology keeps improving. Today, Panasonic has launched a new WiFi-enabled Smart LED Bulb that offers a wide range of features to upgrade users' lifestyles. Now, let's take a look at what the "smart" lightbulb does!

A major reason why people use voice assistants is that it can often be tedious to type things out. It's even better when the device can recognise your voice and provide you with personalised results.

All the user has to do is just say "Hey Google, read it" or "Hey Google, read this page".

The Xiaomi Mijia was found to have a very critical security problem recently. For some reason, Xiaomi's security cameras are able to capture still images from other cameras' feeds. Google was made aware of this issue soon enough and Xiaomi is hopefully already in the midst of resolving it.
