Looks like a good news for Android Lollipop users as Google Now recently received quiet an impressive update that will allow users to toggle several settings on Android Lollipop devices, simply by using their voice.

Google Search app users running Android 5.0 Lollipop can now toggle their Wi-Fi, Bluetooth as well as flashlight (camera LED) simply with their voice. In order for these voice commands to work, the device will need to be running the most recent version of the Google Search app.

According to JBGNews, Google Now received an update over the weekend to include a few voice commands to let users change the settings through Android Lollipop 5.0

Those who frequently uses Google Now will notice that quick settings can now be easily updated through the recently added voice commands.  As a result of its mediocre release, its many bugs as well as battery issues, Android's Lollipop 5.0 is not the default Android operating system. That said, as new features and apps continue to be added to the play store, fans are finally approving of the under discussion Android Lollipop 5.0 update. According to JBGNews, integrating this android system with Google Now is a step in the right direction.

Back in 2014, the search engine giant Google introduced the ability to toggle through voice commands. This feature however wasn't as effective because it only allowed users to toggle through the settings menu and open the corresponding menu. It is said that the new Google Now voice commands enables users to do a lot more than just toggle though settings to arrive at the corresponding menu. Now with the voice command, users can perform multiple tasks such as turning on/off WiFi, flashlight, and Bluetooth.

When users say, "Ok Google, turn on Bluetooth," users will get a voice feedback indicating the voice command has been activated and the action is carried out. In case  people are wondering what happens when a user makes a mistake, a card and a small toggle are displayed letting users reverse the action and try the voice command again.

These are the only voice commands on Google Now with Android Lollipop 5.0 which are currently working. It is said that it won't be a surprise to see more commands such as airplane mode, location, volume etc coming in the future.

Let us know what other toggles you would like to see to the Google Now voice commands in the comments below!
