Google introduced its Google Accessibility feature some years ago with one purpose in mind – everyone should have access to the web and several other things across the barrier. The accessibility settings described above have arrived a long time after its original introduction and the integration of the feature in the different main Google apps. This setting was first restricted to Smart Displays and speakers, but the assurance of easy access to the Web should ideally also extend to the range of devices accessible, i.e., it should be available on other devices.
As such, Google finally brings the Android Assistant Accessibility Settings. At this point, however, there is no apparent functioning of the settings.
The “Accessibility” menu under “Hey Google” today is added to the Assistant settings (through the Google app). The description states that “the vision, hearing, motor and cognitive impairments are supported.” When using the dark style of the Google app, the menu added recently is not very apparent. This is because a bug is present. Google also gives “Mic-on Notification” and “Mic-close Notification” by default. “Availability” is listed as “Android 6.0+ Phones.”
The control of these options is not yet understood. The issuance of the command will cause the device to produce a sound “Ok Google” or “Hey Google.” Also, the user can hear a sound when the device is finished listening to the user’s request.
One likely reason for this may be because it is not yet feasible to enable or disable features, particularly as the new features do not vary Google Assistance (NGA) on non-pixel devices or normal one. Now Google will most likely introduce more accessibility settings in the near future with the inclusion of the Assistant description.

The fact, particularly since enabling or disabling features on the new Google Assistant or the traditional one on a non-Pixel smartphone does not make a difference. Now Google will most likely add more accessibility settings in the near future with the inclusion of the assistant description.
Additionally to the settings page for the Assistant, “Photos,” “Screen Control” and “Your applications” are included.
