If you dislike using voice commands to interact with your Google Assistant, you can control its behavior by typing the commands. All you need to do is launch the Assistant app, and the program will start listening to your command. When you see four dots, select them, and press the keyboard icon. You can also wait for a few seconds until the swaying dots disappear. The keyboard icon should appear automatically at the bottom of the screen. Select the icon to open the keyboard. Type your question or command and hit the “Enter” key. If you want to make typing your default input mode, access the Assistant settings and choose the “Phone” option. Choose “Keyboard” under “Preferred input.”
