This does not work on my Axon 7 (I'm on B05)...Is it necessary to enable it somehow?

Go into settings and click on the Magnifying glass in the top right corner than search for motions or camera and just activate.

Is this going to be solved in future update? I want to use OK Google. Also I turned the option on that I can unlock the phone if say OK Google but it mostly doesn't work (it did before). If I unlock the screen manually and than say it, it works, so it's not problem with voice recognition.

I don't know if they will found a solution to this problem we already forwarded it to them a several times, let's see if they can manage to fix it in the next Updates
