Step by step instructions for setting Perplexity to be your default assistant on your Android (after you’ve installed the or have the updated version of the Perplexity app, no separate app for the Assistant).

I may need an android device...

Need a personal assistant? ⏰ Message us! 💬

Wen iOS?

Can I have the equivalent of circle to search?

When is "Hey, Plex!" coming?

Done every step. But when I speak it doesn't work. My microphone settings are enabled, still it doesn't hear me. Keyboard and screen works fine

Is it possible to create an alias from contacts? i have a contact that's hard to spell, maybe i could teach perplexity when i say "blablabla" i mean "glugluglu".

Long way to go to make it as default assistant.. the biggest draw back as of now is like Google assistant where it can take instructions when we say hey google .. perplexity depends on button ..

Replaced Gemini on my Pixel and have been using for the first day. Works great for me! But gosh, now it pisses me off that I can't change the search bar on the homescreen

Tried it. Can't fetch names in my contact every 3rd or 4rth time. Capabilities are not reproducible

Very useful, thanks!
