Microsoft has invested time and resources into perfecting its services and app offerings on Android. This includes Cortana, which rivals Google's own assistant.

Community member davidewart asked the question: Should he replace Google Assistant with Cortana on Android?
I use Cortana on my OnePlus 5, but I enjoy Google's solution more, especially while in Android Auto mode. Both are certainly capable assistants, but Google has the edge with more integration and functions. Still, Microsoft is working hard to improve services on Android, and connectivity with Windows 10 is only going to get better.
