Google is pushing back its plan to fully replace Google Assistant with Gemini on most Android phones. The company had previously said it wanted to upgrade most mobile Assistant users to Gemini by the end of 2025. Now, it says that timeline is slipping into 2026 as it works to make the transition smoother. In
Once I asked my phone to navigate to a place via public transport. A normal question Google Assistant can handle. Instead that stupid Gemini LLM started trying to give me a list of directions instead of just opening Google Maps.

I can’t even ask Gemini to set an alarm or timer. Both things that were dead simple with assistant.
I actually preferred assistant for this task. It was much easier than opening clock, navigating, etc.
this totally works I use it all the time
The thing about AI shit is it’s inconsistent so you can’t even help each other troubleshoot lmao
It straight up told me it can’t do it. I switched back to Bixby for trying to actually do things on my phone.
