To use Google Now you must first have the app installed. Get it below.

Tip: go to your app drawer and hit Google Settings > Search & Now > Voice > OK Google detection and enable From any screen. This means you can say "OK Google" whenever your phone is awake to launch the Google Now voice search.
If your phone runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Google settings are now found in the Settings menu, not in the app drawer. If you're too lazy to scroll this list, you can also access a list of voice commands on your phone by tapping the mic and saying "show me what you got".
App-specific commands
“Send a [WhatsApp] message to [Scott Adam Gordon]” (you'll also have to say “Yes” to send the transcribed message)
This same voice command works with WhatsApp, WeChat, Telegram, Hangouts, Viber and NextPlus and there is a variety of possible formats:
“Send a [Telegram] message to [Paul]”
“Send a [WhatsApp] to [Chris]”
“Send a message with [NextPlus]”
“Send a message to [Mom] with [Viber]”

Remember your preferred apps
If you say something such as, “OK Google, scan my receipt in [Walmart]”, Google will automatically open the Walmart app to scan your receipt. If, however, you don't mention the app and just say “OK Google, scan my receipt”, Google will pop up a window offering you a few options.
If you repeatedly choose the same one (in this case, the Walmart app), Google will learn that you prefer to scan receipts with the Walmart app and will automatically launch that in future when you say, “OK Google, scan my receipt”.
