NEXUS 5 TIP: To dismiss a card on Nexus 5, swipe from
left to right. Swiping from right to left returns you to the
main Home screen.
Updates appear in the form of Google Now cards. When you
don’t need a card any more, swipe it out of the way.
That’s all there is to it. Google Now is always working for you
as you go through your day. If you want, you can adjust the way
certain cards get updated:
• Set reminders: Touch the
Reminders icon.
• Specify your sports teams, stocks, places, and more: Touch
the Customize icon.
• Answer questions about an individual card: Touch the
Menu icon.
For more details, visit
Google Now.

Tell Google what to do
You can speak to your phone or tablet to search, get directions,
send messages, and perform other common tasks. To initiate
a Voice Action or Voice Search from Google Now or a Home
screen, say “Ok Google” or touch the Microphone icon.
Note: For devices other than Nexus 5, saying “Ok Google” works
in Google Now, but not on Home screens. This feature is current-
ly available in English only.
