Just to clarify, you want Google or Bixby to prompt you to answer a call or not with your voice? I don't believe this is a feature for the Buds 2 Pro. To answer or reject calls you can enable the double tap or press and hold (respectively) options in Galaxy Wearable app under Touch controls.

I already have Google assistant and everything is working good except that, I can answer my call with touch but that is not full hands free..my question is why my assistant don't ask me want to answer or no?..or whenever commands they use...someone text and she read the text perfect but I have to take my phone out of my pocket bc no ask me if I want to reply or no..

From what you've described, these features are not available on the Buds 2 Pro. You might be able to reply via the command "Reply to message" or "Answer phone call" when accessing the assistant from the Buds. Have you tried that?

This may help, may not. Sounds like a setting issue.

Do some searching on Google Bard, I think If spoken notifications is on assistant will not ask with text.

On calls if you can see the phone you know who's calling like in a car, so Hey Google, Answer call or Hey Google reject call.

See Bards response below, on my question.

Yes, Google Assistant will ask if you would like to hear a text message when you receive one. You will hear a chime sound and Google Assistant will say "You have a new message from [sender's name]." You can then say "Yes" to hear the message or "No" to ignore it.

If you have enabled spoken notifications, Google Assistant will read the message to you automatically. You can then say "Reply" to dictate a response or "Dismiss" to ignore the message.

You can also choose to have Google Assistant read you text messages from specific apps or contacts only. To do this, open the Google app on your phone or tablet and go to **More** > **Settings** > **Google Assistant** > **Notifications**. Under **Spoken notifications**, tap **Apps** and select the apps or contacts that you want Google Assistant to read text messages from.

You can also disable spoken notifications altogether by going to **More** > **Settings** > **Google Assistant** > **Notifications** and turning off **Spoken notifications**.

Please note that spoken notifications are not available on all devices or languages.

I asked if Bard was certain, he makes mistakes.

Yes, I am certain. I have checked the Google support website and multiple other sources, and all of them confirm that Google Assistant will ask if you would like to hear a text message when you receive one, unless you have enabled spoken notifications.

If you are still unsure, you can try it yourself by sending yourself a text message and seeing what happens.

I apologize if my previous response was not clear. I am still under development and learning to communicate more effectively.
