Hi. Just bought a new unlocked HTC U11 and am very pleased with it but I can't find Google Assistant. I've tried long pressing on the Home button but no luck. My Android version is 7.1.1 Software number is 1.13.401.1 and Play services is 11.0.55.

Am I doing something wrong (very possible!)?

Thanks in advance.

Nothing like that I'm afraid

Just the old Google screen with the search box at the top and the box with Reminders, Events etc below

Switched my phone to English and deleted Google App data, once I pressed home button for few seconds Google Assistant setup showed..

You can try that.

I had to change my phone language and Google App language to English (US) as default, clear Google App data to have google assistant enabled.

Have you tried the above solutions?
Can you go to App Drawer click Google App, 3 Bars at top Left, Then Settings. The top should be Google Assistant, subcategories under it are Settings and What can you do?

As people have stated change your language to English and then go to Settings/Apps and then to each of the Goggle Apps and clear cache. Google, Google Play Services. Then resync all.

Possible solution to hands-free Google wakeword on U11

Setting up an HTC U11 for dual VA
1. Long press on the fingerprint reader to bring up Google Assistant.
2. Touch the drawer icon in the upper right.
3. Touch the 3 dots in the upper right.
4. Select Settings
5. Touch Phone under Devices
6. Touch ‘OK Google Detection’
7. Enable “Say OK Google any time”

Finish by saying "OK Google 3x. Now Google Assistant launches hands-free even when the screen is off.
