Big news from Google! By the end of this year, they’re rolling out a major update for Android devices, swapping out Google Assistant for something new and exciting: Gemini. Announced just recently, this shift means that Google Assistant will gradually disappear from most mobile platforms and app stores. Over the next few months, you’ll see your devices upgraded from Google Assistant to Gemini.
But it doesn’t stop there. Google’s also bringing Gemini to tablets, cars, and even gadgets like headphones and watches. Plus, your home devices—think speakers, displays, and TVs—will soon get a boost with Gemini’s new capabilities.
For now, you can rest easy knowing that Google Assistant will keep working on your current devices. However, the transition to Gemini is set to align with the launch of Google’s Pixel 9, where Gemini made its debut as the default assistant. It’s designed to offer advanced features and fresh ways to access information, using tools like Gemini Live and Deep Research.
Google’s been busy enhancing Gemini’s features, adding some of the most requested functionalities like music playback, timer support, and actions that you can access right from the lock screen. While we’re all waiting for more detailed announcements, it’s clear that Google is committed to making this transition as smooth as possible.
