Crab is a voice assistant for Apple devices that allows you to perform any action through voice commands. However, thanks to its efficiency, many people have wondered if it is possible to download this tool on Android mobiles.

That is, to be able to send voice messages directly on their devices, and that the voice assistant (such as Siri) performs actions such as reading messages, playing music, setting an alarm or telling you the news of the day.
