It looks like Google Assistant can warn you to turn off your alarm clock on the eve of a holiday. A function that appeared on the “At a Glance” widget available exclusively on Google Pixels.
One of the worst feelings in the world is an alarm clock going off on a holiday because you forgot to turn it off. In the update ” Feature Drop” of March of the Pixels, Google had announced that the widget “At a Glance » could send «reminders to turn off your alarm if the next day is a holiday“. An alert that began to be received in Canada.
