TL;DR
- Google is now turning Assistant into Gemini by default.
- Whenever you obtain the Assistant Android app, you get Gemini as an alternative, full with a distinct app icon.
- You’ll should manually swap again to Assistant to proceed utilizing the digital assistant.
Google launched the Gemini Android app not too long ago. It provides Android customers an possibility to change from Google Assistant to Gemini and make it the default AI helper on their telephones. Nevertheless, it appears to be like like Google is on the point of section out Assistant fully and change it fully with Gemini.
For those who don’t have already got the Google Assistant app on Android and obtain it now from the Play Retailer, you get Gemini AI by default. Even the app icon says Gemini as an alternative of Google Assistant. What’s unusual is that in the event you additionally downloaded the standalone Gemini Android app, you’ll now see two situations of Gemini in your apps checklist.

Whenever you open the Gemini app that pops up when you obtain Google Assistant, you possibly can go into Settings and swap again to Assistant. This can then change the app icon and mirror the app as Assistant as an alternative of Gemini.
A Reddit person alerted us to this bizarre change Google is making once they seen that the Assistant app on their new Galaxy S24 Plus modified to Gemini robotically after an everyday app replace through the Play Retailer. The person by no means beforehand opted in to make use of Gemini on their telephone as an alternative of Assistant. They didn’t even have the standalone Gemini app on their telephone when Assistant robotically converted to Gemini.
With Google giving Assistant downloaders Gemini by default, it’s all however clear that the corporate is planning to obliterate Assistant out of existence finally. We all know Gemini will more and more undertake extra Assistant options as its availability and attain grows. This appears to be the primary signal that we must be able to bid farewell to the great ol’ Google Assistant.
