To allow for downloading of Android apps from the Google Play Store, enable Android apps on Chrome OS for your domain.
To enable the Google Assistant, turn on Web & App Activity. After your admin turns on this setting, it can take a few hours for the setting change to apply. Learn more about Web & App Activity.
