I have a Pixel 7. For months now I've been using Keep for notes I enter by voice through Google Assistant. It now longer works correctly. Please help. Thanks in advance. ### Here's what I used to do Press the Assistant button, say "take a note" Assistant says, "alright, what would you like it to say" I say, "get a new phone" or whatever Assistant says, "alright, I've saved your note". And the note shows up in Keep, either through my phone or through the web. Life was grand. ### Here's what happens now Press the Assistant button, say "take a note" Assistant says, "alright, what would you like it to say" (or sometimes "What do you want it to say?") I say, "get a new phone" or whatever _Assistant says "Alright, which app do you want to use?"_ _OMG_ I have to say "Keep". ### What I want it to do NOT FREAKING ASK ME WHAT APP TO USE EVERY FREAKING TIME! #### What I've done to try to fix it. * Reboot - didn't help * Open Assistant Settings, verify Google Keep is checked - yes Keep is selected. * Open Assistant Settings, disable notes and lists, reenable - didn't help * Open Assistant Settings, disable notes and lists, reboot, reenable - didn't help * Install some other Notes and Lists provider - tried to install another list app. Didn't make a difference * Tried Gemini - OMG, near as I can tell, Gemini doesn't even know what a note is. Switched back to Assistant. Still didn't fix the issue. * Remove Keep, reinstall - same problem ### Possibly related Immediately prior to this behavior I installed an additional Gmail account in the Gmail app. I had three accounts installed, taking a note by voice worked fine. Installed a fourth account, and taking a voice by note started asking which app. Correlation does not imply causality, so I don't know that this was the cause. But for what it's worth, I uninstalled the fourth account, and it didn't fix the issue. ## Addendum It works correctly in the car, through Android Auto.
