How to assign a nickname to your Android contacts

A status of relationship is not just for your social network. If train google who your wife, daughter, father, friend is then text or a call is just one casual voice command away.

Assign a Nickname to Your Android Contacts

You will be able to say message my father, call my friend, email my wife to perform that action. You can use a list of nicknames of a google help article.

Launch google app, If there is disable of voice detection, first you have to enable voice detection from any screen, say ok google, and say nickname of your contacts.

Tap on chekmark button and then that contact has been added. When you call your contact name and google doesn't recognize the name at first, spell it out one letter at a time. My example, as google search instead of "connor kain."

The voice command works properly with the some messaging app like hangouts. You can say "send a hangouts message" if you prefer to send an OTT message.

This would not work with all the third party applications but if your platform doesn't supported yet, keep trying as more developers should enable this over time.

When relationships change, you can reverse the process. If someone is no longer your friend or another status you can say just ok google, Johny is not my friend and google will remember the change. Google app is set to a default language English.
