Google Assistant will disappear from your phone next month
TL;DR
Farewell, Google Assistant art, we hardly knew ye. | Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google Assistant's days have been numbered ever since Gemini arrived on the scene, and its time is now up. Google has announced that it will be removing access to Assistant on Android phones and tablets, along with paired devices like smartwatches or headphones, from September 4th. The announcement came in an email apparently sent to some users, as reported by 9to5Google and shared in full on Reddit.
Nauti's Take
Anyone relying on Google Assistant for voice commands or automations should test their key workflows with Gemini before September 4. Pay particular attention to routines, device compatibility, and privacy permissions, because the migration may change how existing smart-home setups and personal commands behave.
