Google Assistant to be Replaced by Gemini on Android Phones

Google has confirmed that the classic Google Assistant will be phased out on Android devices by the end of August, with Gemini taking over as the primary AI.

The transition is part of Google's broader strategy to integrate its advanced generative AI models directly into the mobile operating system.

Users will be prompted to switch to Gemini starting September 4, marking the end of the Assistant era that has defined Android voice interaction for years.
