Google Assistant to Shut Down on Android on September 4

Google has confirmed that its classic Assistant will cease functioning on Android devices starting September 4, as the company fully transitions to Gemini.

Users will be prompted to switch to the Gemini AI model, which Google claims offers more advanced conversational capabilities and deeper system integration.

The move marks the end of the Assistant era, with the company focusing its resources on generative AI to compete with other major industry players.
