The Google Assistant Android app is now Gemini by default
www.androidauthority.com
Google is now changing Assistant to Gemini by default when you download the Assistant app from the Play Store or update it.

This means:

  • Downloading or updating the Assistant app now gives you Gemini instead.
  • You can switch back to Assistant in the Gemini app settings.
  • This might be Google’s first step towards replacing Assistant completely with Gemini.
  • Some users are unaware of the switch and see two Gemini apps on their phones.

Overall, this may suggest Google is phasing out Assistant and transitioning users to the newer Gemini AI technology.

    After being on Graphene for the past 2 years,I decided to reinstall with no google at all,since my bank app now works without any google services dependencies.

    hooray for me,I’m finally free and can profit from multiuser installed sandboxed services in another user profile if needed.

    Glad to be out of this downward spiral.

      Since GrapheneOS added eSIM support withput google I’m tempted to try to remove Play Services from my installation. How do you find out which apps require Play Services?
