How to Change Your Google Assistant Nickname: A Quick Guide for Stuck Users
Have you ever found yourself in a humorous yet slightly embarrassing situation with your smartphone’s voice assistant? If so, you’re not alone. Recently, I encountered a rather amusing predicament that ended with my Google Assistant calling me “Big Papa.”
The Backstory
Several years ago, in a lighthearted moment with friends, I jokingly instructed Google Assistant to refer to me as “Big Papa.” At the time, it was all in good fun, and I thought nothing of it. Fast forward to today, and I’ve just joined a group chat where my name is now prominently displayed as “Big Papa”, leaving me feeling both amused and slightly mortified.
The Dilemma
While this quirky nickname may have sounded funny a few years back, it’s not exactly the professional image I want to project, especially in a new group setting. So, how do I go about reclaiming my real name from a voice assistant that once took my joke way too seriously?
Step-by-Step Solution

Open Google Assistant: Start by launching the Google Assistant on your device.
