This update allows you to use Layla as your phone's default assistant, replacing Google Gemini!
Here's a demo of the feature in action:
Here's a tutorial on how to change the default assistant for your Samsung phone: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10001575/
Step 1: go to your Settings  | Step 2: search for "digital assistant"  |
Step 3: Tap on the digital assitant app setting  | Step 4: change the default assistant to Layla  |
Voila! When you long press the power button, Layla will come up as your default assistant!
You can set a default character in Layla, so the assistant that gets brought up is your own character! This gives a new dimension to your personal assistant on your phone.
