Overview
- Google will continue upgrading most mobile Assistant users to Gemini into 2026, dropping its end‑of‑2025 goal and setting no new firm deadline.
- After the switch is complete, Google Assistant will be removed from compatible Android phones and tablets, and the standalone iOS app will no longer be available.
- Gemini is already live on Wear OS and is rolling out to Google TV and Android Auto, with the Gemini for Home Early Access program ongoing.
- Devices must meet minimum requirements to receive the upgrade, including Android 10 and at least 2GB of RAM.
- Availability will vary by device and car platform, and at least one report cites March 2026 as a target for Android Auto, which has not been confirmed by Google.
