About Google Now
Google Now gives you just the right information at just the right
time—before you even ask. Just swipe up from the bottom of your
tablet to get commute trafc before work, popular nearby places,
your favorite team’s current score, and more.
You can turn Google Now on or off at any time. Swipe up the same
way and touch
Menu > Settings > Now cards. If you need to
lower the keyboard to see the menu, touch
.
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 ngertips.
To know when to display which cards, Google Now uses contex-
tual data from your tablet and data in Google products and third-
party products that you allow Google Now to access.
