Google has released a new ‘Device Assist’ app on the Play Store that aims to help Nexus, GPe and Android One users troubleshoot any problem they are facing with their device. 

The app provides users with tips and tricks to use their device more efficiently. It also tries to detect any issue with the device settings, and provides users with a solution to fix them. In case the app is unable to detect or fix the problem, it also allows users to request a callback from Google.
