It appears Android TV is gaining Voice Match integration with the Google Assistant, according to the latest update to the Google Search app.
For a few years now, the Google Assistant has been integrated into Android TV, with most newer remotes offering a dedicated Assistant button and some devices offering “Hey Google” support. Now it looks like Android TV is picking up Voice Match integration with the Google Assistant, according to the latest update to the Google Search app for Android TV.
Last night, a fairly significant update rolled out for the Google Search app on Android TV, jumping from version 3.14.2 to 4.2.0. Google initially rolled out a 4.1.0 update last month, but appear to have subsequently pulled that update due to issues. In both versions 4.1 and 4.2 we find that Google is working on deeper Google Assistant and Google Home integration for Android TV.
