'Stop!' You now need just one word to shut up your Google Assistant


Shutting up your Google Assistant is now less wordy: users can now immediately tell it "stop", without saying "Hey Google" first. — dpa

You can tell the Google Assistant to "shut up" as much as you want, but so long as you don't say the magic words "Hey Google" it will just keep talking.

This can be pretty annoying when Google gets something wrong and you just want it to stop.
