UPDATE:

Tried another approach of setting up by asking Google Assistant on my iPad to "set up my device" - couldn't complete as "something went wrong" and left it at that. 

The Google assistant app somehow appeared as a new app this week and the button on the magic finally works to activate Google assistant on the TV.

 Not sure what happened but fingers crossed.  

**********

Has there been a withdrawal of Google Assistant on LG TVs in Singapore?

With language, broadcast country and LG services country set to "Singapore" , pressing the Google Assistant button on the Magic Remote shows a message indicating that the service is not available in my country.  My LG account and Google assistant settings for the same account have their location and set up in Singapore too.

The only (unsatisfactory) workaround is to control the TV indirectly using either my smartphone or connected Sound Bar which have Google Assistant installed.

I've tried switching the region to Australia and I'm able to set up Google Assistant on the TV. But with this I'm of course unable to log into the TV using my LG account given the region difference.

How should the set up be done?

I am having the same problem in connecting to Google assistant. Apparently this is the latest and top of the line Smart TV model from LG but it is far from  anything smart. LG support is practically non existent here. The TV just shows that Google Assistant and Alexa are not available in the region. My new G165” also shows a weird pink vertical band on the left end of the screen when the content background is supposed to be white. Hoping that these are minor issues that can be updated over software updates. If not, will have to claim warranty already on a 2week old TV!!

      In "CMP settings": there is a huge list of vendors, IAB and Google.
      You can deselect consent for those.
      However when you go back, in the Google consent are all still enabled.
      Reject All doesn;t work. Deselecting individually and clicking "Confirm my choices" doesn't work. The Google ones are back on.
      That's really bad, GDPR.

      Embracing the Spirit of “Har Ghar Appliances, Har Ghar Happiness,”
      the New Lineup Combines Design, Performance and Value for Every Indian Home

      Mumbai, Oct. 14, 2025 — LG Electronics India Ltd. (LGEIL) today unveiled the LG Essential Series, a new line of home appliances created from the ground level with Indian insights. As the company’s first major consumer initiative following the public listing of LGEIL, the Essential Series reflects LG Electronics’ (LG) renewed commitment to India – making innovation more accessible to millions of households while meeting their growing aspirations. Under the campaign slogan “Har Ghar Appliances, Har Ghar Happiness,” LG aims to enrich the lifestyles of Indian consumers by ensuring that more households experience the brand promise of Life’s Good first-hand.
      Developed after engaging with more than 1,200 families across India representing diverse demographics and lifestyles, the series is built on two core philosophies: “Made in India” and “Made for India.” Each product is designed to meet the dreams and everyday challenges of Indian consumers offering superior performance, durability and thoughtful design, all at an accessible price.
      The LG Essential Series comprises four key appliances designed for Indian households:
      Double Door Refrigerator with frost-free technology and larger vegetable storage Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine built to withstand local conditions like dust, humidity and low water pressure Room Air Conditioner reducing energy consumption with Energy Manager+ & Diet Mode+ Convertible Oven with Indian Auto Cook menus, air fry and convection modes for healthier, versatile cooking. “The LG Essential Series marks a new chapter in our commitment to Indian consumers, following the successful market listing of LGEIL,” said Hong-ju Jeon, managing director of LG Electronics India Ltd. “Designed from the ground-up with insights from thousands of households, this series brings together premium design and everyday reliability. It addresses the real needs of Indian families with appliances built for local conditions – enhancing convenience and enriching daily life. With this launch, LG is making Life’s Good more accessible, turning aspirations into reality across India.”
      Designed for India: Durable, Practical and Thoughtful
      Double Door Refrigerator
      Combining simplicity with premium functionality, the refrigerator offers Frost Free Technology at a reasonable price, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. Its Smart Mode automatically adjusts cooling based on seasonal changes, while a 20 percent larger (compared to previous models) vegetable storage compartment accommodates bulk grocery shopping – ideal for vegetarian households. Fully Automatic Top Loader Washing Machine:
      Built for durability in diverse Indian conditions, the washer features Low Pressure Fill technology for effective washing even at low water pressures. The ProShield Motor with BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) Cover provides enhanced protection against dust, insects and moisture, while the IPX4-certified water-resistant control panel offers reliable operation in humid conditions. Room Air Conditioner:
      Designed for comfortable living, the product comes equipped with features like Energy Manager+ with the “You decide your bill” function, which helps consumers manage energy consumption – a key concern as many hesitate to purchase air conditioners due to high electricity costs rather than product price. The Diet Mode+ feature allows users to manage both cooling temperature and personal comfort, optimizing energy efficiency while delivering enhanced airflow. It is ideal for effectively cooling small to medium-sized spaces such as bedrooms or study rooms. Product features and specifications may vary by model. Convertible Oven:
      Inspired by India’s rich culinary traditions, the oven includes Auto Cook menus customized for local dishes like ghee, paneer and dal. Equipped with Air Fry and Convection modes, it enables healthier cooking with the convenience of modern versatility. The LG Essential series will begin its nationwide rollout in November 2025, with prices starting at approximately Rs.18,000 for entry-level models.1 The products will be available at all authorized LG brand stores, multi-brand retail outlets and major e-commerce platforms across India.2
