Issues with voice/assistant

[MyUsernameRox]

Using voice to text, mic goes right back off after tapping it, regardless off keyboard being used.

Saying "hey/ok google" doesn't activate voice search or assistant. Tapping mic icon in search bar doesnt work the first try. It pulls up the "Say ok google/tap mic button" prompt.

What gives?

Is Google Assistant (or whatever app you are trying to use) set as your assistant app?

Settings
Apps
(settings pinwheel)
Assistant & Voice Input

Also check through all the settings in whatever app is your assistant app.

In the end, if everything here checks out and it still won't work, try deleting the cache on the app(s) involved.

If it still won't work, then delete the data from the app(s).
You will have to go through all the settings again afterwards.
