    You can't. Google hasn't allowed direct access to Assistant in that manner as it doesn't appear as an app. You can, however, set it to launch voice search.

    I have no KeyOne, so YMMV. On my other android devices i'm using something like this app https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...oogle-t3614804 . Technically the Assistant is a Activity (like the options menu inside an app for example) inside the Google Application, so with the linked tool you can start it. you can also use a launcher like nova launcher to put a shortcut on your homescreen, but at least on the priv the second way with Nova Breaks keyboard-shortcuts.

    Hello, I have just tested this out on my KEYone and it WORKS!!! Double-Confirmed!

    I have the premium version of NOVA LAUNCHER installed on my keyone, but am using the BB LAUNCHER as my primary default launcher. I set a shortcut key to a "NOVA ACTION" and one of the options are "ASSISTANT"

    after setting it up, pressing the shortcut takes me DIRECTLY to Google Assistant..

    however, for myself, that just takes away a potential shortcut key i can use for something else, because long-pressing the home button takes me to google assistant anyway.

    Too bad you cannot assign the convenience key to a Nova Action

    But you can remap the long-pressing on home button to another app with a 3rd party app

    Ok thank you i didn't know that .

    However , I want to ask : does that explain why the downloaded BBM from google appstore works immediately , and the BBM version of blackberry manager (cobalt) does always immediately error out with "oops something went wrong" ?

    Shouldn't they behave the same in case of BBID troubles ?
