Google Now

Google Now gives you just the right information at just the right time - before you even ask. Just slide up from the bottom of your Sero 7 to get commute traffic before work, popular nearby places, your favorite team’s current score, and more.

After you opt in to Google Now, you don’t need to do anything else. If you like, you can adjust settings for different types of Now cards as they appear, but Google Now doesn’t need any elaborate setup. The information you need is always at your fingertips.

To know when to display which cards, Google Now uses contextual data from your Sero 7 and data in Google products and thirdparty products that you allow Google Now to access.

For example, Google Now uses the time of day, your location, and your location history to show you what the traffic on your commute is like when you wake up in the morning. It also uses information from Google services such as your Web History for sports or flight status cards, or from your synced calendar entries for appointment cards.

Turn Google Now On
