3. App Compatibility Limitations (Important)

Please note that Google Assistant / Gemini voice control does not work with all apps.

Voice control is supported only for:

  • ● Google-supported apps
  • ● Third-party apps that have integrated the Google Assistant / Gemini API

Some commonly used apps (such as Spotify, Baby Monitor, Prism Live, TinyCam, Wyze, etc.) may:

  • ● Not support Google Assistant at all
  • ● Only support voice control on Google Nest devices or mobile phones

As a result, even if Google Assistant / Gemini is enabled,

some apps may not be launched or controlled by voice on third-party Android devices such as Apolosign Portable TV.

📌 This is an app compatibility limitation, not a device issue.
