This very great piece will help you learn how to set a reminder on Android Using Google Assistant or Home.
Many times we lose count of time and reach the field so late. Whether driving or walking, you need a reminder so you don’t get into a business that you have not planned for.
At the end of the day, all you need is to complete your day’s duties. Google gives you a chance to set, ask about and delete time and location-based reminders on Google Home. Notifications will always appear on Google Home and your phone at the time you set or when you reach your location.

Set and manage reminders on Google Home
#1. Your phone should be running in Android version 6.0 or higher. If your phone is running in a lower Android version, you can have a fast update of your Android so that you do not miss out on the luxury of being able to set a reminder on your Android using Google Home.
#2. Set up Personalisation. You can do this by clicking on the link of your Google account: myaccount.google.com. Click on the Personal information & Privacy option.
You can then scroll down to Ads Settings and click on MANAGE ADS SETTINGS.
Go ahead and turn on ads personalization, if it’s not already on. Check the box for Google account activity personalization.
NB; (a) For One person using Google Home, personal results must be turned on to manage reminders. If you don’t turn on Personal results, you’ll still see a reminder notification on Google Home but you won’t be able to hear the reminder.
In this case, make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi as your Google Home device. Open your Google Home app. In the bottom right corner of the Home screen, tap Account. Verify that the Google Account listed is the one linked to Google Home.
To switch accounts, click the triangle to the right of the account name and email address.
In the bottom left corner of the screen, tap Home. Tap the device you want to set up personal results for. Turn Personal results on.
(b) To prevent others from accessing your reminders, link your Google Account and voice to Google Home.
(c) If multiple people are using the same Google Home, everyone who wants to hear, set, and manage personal reminders on Google Home must set up Voice Match, even the person who set up Google Home. This will prevent others from hearing and managing your reminders.

Verify that the Google Account that is listed is the one linked to Google Home.
To switch accounts, click the triangle to the right of the account name.
Tap Settings, then Assistant tab then Voice match. Make sure any devices you want to link your voice to be checked.
