Overview
- The company says it will keep upgrading Assistant users to Gemini on phones and tablets into 2026 rather than finishing this year.
- Once the migration is complete, Google Assistant will be inaccessible on supported devices and the Google Assistant app will no longer be available to download.
- Users can still select Google Assistant within the Gemini app for now, pointing to a phased, rolling switch rather than an immediate cutoff.
- Gemini is already live on Wear OS and is rolling out to Google TV and Android Auto, with a Gemini for Home Early Access program continuing for smart speakers and displays.
- Eligibility for the upgrade depends on device requirements, including at least Android 10 and 2GB of RAM.
