For the past year now, Google’s been making the case for Gemini, its next-gen AI-powered chatbot and digital assistant. So far, Android users have had the choice between keeping the reliable old Google Assistant that they’ve had on their phones for years, or making the early transition over to Gemini. For most of us, that choice is about to go away, as Google shares its plans for Gemini fully taking Assistant’s place.
At some point later this year, Google Assistant will no longer be available on most Android phones. Before that day comes, Google will be scrambling to make Gemini available on more and more devices. But once it does, you’ll no longer be able to hold onto Assistant.
