Google Now no longer working on Nexus 5x I am on a Nexus 5x running 7.1.1. Earlier today found no cards on the Google Now screen, just this message:
"New Version Available
A more recent version of the Google app is available for download".
So tapped the link which took me to the Play Store and the Google App. Where there is no update available, just options to open or uninstall.

Hitting open loops me right back to the above message.

Fixes I have tried:
Turning Now off and back on.
Deleting card preferences.
Uninstalling Google and the Now Launcher and reinstalling both.
Turning location services off.
Have also checked that Settings>account &amp; privacy>Google activity controls>web &amp; App activity is set to "On". 
Oh, and switching my phone off and on again :-)
None worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to let you know you're not alone.

too have exactly the same symptoms on a Nexus 5X running 7.1.1
I've tried:


Leaving the beta program, removing Google App (beta) and installing mainstream Google App
Google App Rejoining the beta program, removing Google App and installing Google App (beta)
Deleting all cache data for Google App
Rebooting the phone.


etc. 

Nothing worked.

However, switching to an alternate Gmail account clears the problem. This account is not in general use and although registered on the phone was not active when the App was updated earlier on today.

I do not want to change the main account as I have a vast network of settings and content in the original, non-functional account.
