Google has also made improvements to voice recognition, so you spend less time shouting at the speaker.

It manages all the usual smart speaker tricks, including relaying info, reading out the news or weather, cracking jokes and playing music.

You can ask for calculations, unit conversions, translations, and enter dates in your diary.

There’s also support for controlling a Google Chromecast.

That’s Google’s popular streaming stick that plugs into your telly to make it a “smart” TV.

And if you’ve got other smart home gadgets, it can control them too.

It’s possible to control the bulb’s brightness and warmth through the app.
