Google, in the past couple of weeks, has rolled out a bunch of new features for Google Assistant. For instance, it rolled out a feature called Family Broadcast on Google Assistant's smartphone-based interface and renamed it 'Communication'.

It also rolled out a 'Your Apps' option in the settings menu that lets users manage how Google Assistant works with installed apps. Now, the company has released another feature that allows use of Google Assistant even when a user's smartphone is locked – his sounds like magic, surely.
