Google has released an update to Google Now that allows users to dictate and send messages using messaging apps, including WhatsApp and Viber.
According to the Verge, the company announced this in a blog post.
The Google Now will be able to send messages using WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat, Telegram and NextPlus in English at launch, though Google plans to add more support for apps and languages in the future.
