Sometime ago I identified that you can open apps using Google Assistant voice and saying "open app (app name)". Unless things have changed you couldn't go further inside the app using Google Assistant except you can continue using voice for apps with this built in, like Office Word for dictation.. So questions.

1. Can you give further instructions inside the app by voice commands?

2. With two Samsung devices, can you specify which device is to implement your Google Assistant command.?

Especially when one device is supposed not to be answering and says something along the lines "Certainly but first you will have to unlock the phne" 🤣🤣🤣

Some help on what you can use is provided here

I got a workaround solution to question 2. Others have had this problem and playing with proximity, Google Assistant volume, type of device and type of request you can achieve a degree of selection. It looks like quite a few people are likely to appreciate a better solution
