Google has announced the replacement of Google Assistant with the Gemini platform on Android devices by the end of this year. According to the statement , users will gradually receive updates from Assistant to Gemini over the coming months. After that, Google Assistant will no longer be available on most mobile devices and in app stores.
Gemini will be available not only on smartphones, but also on tablets, in cars, and on devices connected to the phone, such as headphones and watches. In addition, apps powered by Gemini technology will appear on home devices such as speakers, displays, and TVs. Google promises to share more details with users in the coming months.
Gemini has already received a number of popular features, including music playback, timer support, and actions from the lock screen. This makes it more convenient and functional for users accustomed to Google Assistant. The company also highlights Gemini’s expanded capabilities, such as Gemini Live for free-flowing multimodal conversations and Deep Research for personal research.
As Google continues to improve the Gemini experience, the new platform is expected to become the standard for most new Android devices, including brands such as Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, and Motorola.
