- Google is now turning Assistant into Gemini by default.
- When you download the Assistant Android app, you get Gemini instead, complete with a different app icon.
- You’ll have to manually switch back to Assistant to continue using the digital assistant.
Google introduced the Gemini Android app recently. It gives Android users an option to switch from Google Assistant to Gemini and make it the default AI helper on their phones. However, it looks like Google is getting ready to phase out Assistant completely and replace it entirely with Gemini.
