"The company said on Friday that it will "continue our work to upgrade Assistant users to Gemini on mobile devices into 2026," instead of its original plans to make the switch by the end of 2025. "We're adjusting our previously announced timeline to make sure we deliver a seamless transition," Google says."
"Users also won't be able to download the Google Assistant app. This year, Google took steps toward replacing Assistant with Gemini on Android by giving users the ability to initiate phone calls, set timers, and send messages through Gemini without Gemini Apps Activity toggled on. The change allows people to use Gemini's assistant-like capabilities while opting out of having their interactions used for AI training."
Google will continue upgrading Assistant users to Gemini on mobile devices into 2026, delaying a previous end-of-2025 plan. The timeline adjustment is intended to ensure a seamless transition. Once migration is complete, Google Assistant will no longer be available on devices that meet the minimum requirements to run Gemini, and the Google Assistant app will not be downloadable. Google has enabled certain Gemini features on Android, including initiating phone calls, setting timers, and sending messages without Gemini Apps Activity toggled on. Those changes allow users to use Gemini’s assistant-like capabilities while opting out of having their interactions used for AI training.
