Google is now replacing Google Assistant on your phone with Gemini. This upgrade aims to bring a smarter and more advanced AI that can help with everyday tasks more effectively.
Google Assistant was launched back in 2016, and it made using voice commands easier on your phone. Now that AI has improved and Google’s Gemini is making things even better. Many users have already switched to Gemini. So, Google has decided to upgrade the experience.
By the end of this year, Google Assistant will no longer be available on most phones or app stores. Instead, users will get access to Gemini’s smarter features. Google is also bringing Gemini to tablets, cars, headphones, watches, and smart home devices like speakers, displays, and TVs. While Google Assistant will still work on these devices for now, Gemini will soon take over, offering better AI-driven experiences.
Since its launch last year, Gemini has become available in over 40 languages and 200+ countries. Google is working to make it even more useful by adding popular features like playing music, setting timers, and performing tasks from the lock screen.
But Gemini isn’t just a replacement—it’s a big improvement. With Gemini Live, users can have natural, free-flowing conversations, while Deep Research turns it into a smart research assistant. These features make AI more helpful in daily life.
