I am so sick of features being promoted to be limited to USA only at best. We speak english outside USA, did you know that?

This is the worst implementation of Google assistant I've ever seen. How does LG not realize the confusion they're going to cause by creating two separate ways of connecting the Google assistant that each provide different functionality?

In case anyone else is reading this and is as confused as I have been, let me break it down for you... You have 2 options:

1) use "Google assistant" with your magic remote (and ONLY the remote). This will not allow you to control your TV with your Google home devices. It will only allow you to control Google home devices with your TV using a version of the Google assistant running on the TV itself. It's gimmicky at best. You'll also notice the magic remote option adds a phantom device in your Google home app that cannot connect and cannot be removed/deleted/unlinked. The only way to get rid of it is to create a new home, move it to the new home, and delete the home.

2) use the "works with Google" option. This is the only way to control the TV with your Google home devices. This will also link all of your LG devices to your Google home, not just your TV. This option also does not allow your TV itself to be an assistant, nor can you use the "magic" remote to talk to the Google assistant.

3) ok there's a third option. Just pretend the TV isn't actually a smart TV. Get a Roku or Chromecast like you would any other TV and have a solution that actually works.

I've followed the steps and yet I can't use any features. Everything is linked but I can't turn the TV off or on or do anything from my Google nest.

Well, my next TV with l will be a Sony OLED with Google TV.

Thinq doesn't even connect to Google assistant outside the USA.

my new LG C3 works with google home to turn it on/off but it doesn't play, pause, it won't launch (show or movie) on Netflix on TV, it keeps telling me: "I also need to know which device to use, try saying that again and include the device's name"

Before Update software of LG OS, my phone is link to my LG smart TV & ThinQ apps
same Account, and can use Voice control on Google Assistant & Alexa. this year March update new WebOS software of LG, cant use Google & Alexa voice control?? only ThinQ can use voice control why ???

[what.]

I can't sign in because it says it's not supported in my country, even though It is. (Philippines)

This just stopped working! My Google Home device now says, "LG is unavailable."

[Thefirespirit]

I can't believe I spent over $1300 dollars on a TV that lags on the home screen due to the sheer amount of ads it has to load, can't be used with any voice assistant in any meaningful way, and basically require a stream box just to use alot of apps.

Your OLEDs are overpriced.

After configuration, inside Google Home, it shows the TV and the message "Not responding". How to fix this? Already tried to redo all the configuration and had the same result. TV Model: LG OLED 65C1PSA. Also tried to add the LG ThinQ service to Google Home, it adds all my other LG devices, like refrigerator, wash machine, air conditioners but not the TV. Does that means it is not supported?

I just wasted 1 hour tying to do this and nothing should of bought an Alexa

After the latest webOS update, I can longer to use Google assistant with my TV. The google home app cannot be loaded and is completely missing and is not searable. Google assistant worked fine up until the most recent update when I was forced to update so I could load other apps to the tv. I have ZERO way to connect the assistant since I don't have a magic remote and now I get a nice message that it's not a feature that is supported on my TV now from Google home. WORST most broken update I've ever seen by LG for a smart TV.

For what it's worth, I can control the tv from the LG app and link Google home to it, but I have zero functionality from Google Home now. Can't control volume or do anything other than see the device is there with a default "TV" name. I had the same issue as others with the phantom TV device that came over and it worked with google assistant, , but this latest update fixed that but broke the integration entirely. The name.doesnt even come over from LG to Google home anymore.

I have the UP7000 65" for those that are curious.

Unfortunately, you sent me to service in the country I come from. And in Europe, the C3 Oled TV does not support Google Assistant, in Sony TV and older LG models, the assistant works because I have an older non-OLED model and it works great, your newest TVs are usually garbage for this reason and cannot be used in Europe, I wonder if it is the same in the USA there is this problem. As soon as the matrix burns out, I immediately replace it with a Sony one, at least it can be used. C3 took me back to the times with the first plasma TVs - a tragedy. I do not recommend your TV, it is not worth saving €150, it is better to choose Sony. I was convinced by the propaganda that LG provides matrixes so it can use them better, unfortunately now I feel as if LG was 15 years behind Sony :( Greetings to the employees who respond to me, but I will avoid the LG company at all costs
