Google has detailed that this is the case adjusting the timeline for the Google Assistant transition to Geminiwhich will be available to users of mobile devices by 2026and not in 2025 as planned.
In March this year, the tech giant began the process of transitioning from Google Assistant to its Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) service on mobile devices, with the aim of later expanding to tablets and cars with Android Auto. At that time, the company already announced that Art The classic Google Assistant will no longer be available for most smartphones at the end of this year 2025.
However, Google has now detailed that they will continue to work on updating Assistant users to Gemini over the next 2026, as opposed to the previously announced schedule.
This was detailed by the tech company in a statement on its support page, where it explained that this is a change that They aim to “ensure a seamless transition” to an AI-powered assistant experience and that they will share more details about their plans “in the coming months.”
It should be taken into account that during the month of November Google has already announced that the transition from Google Assistant to Gemini will be completed in March of next year 2026.. However, this information was only published on the Android Auto support page, so the company made an exclusive link to this service for cars.
Notably, Google Assistant launched in 2016 with capabilities such as natural language processing and voice recognition technology, two features that allowed users to “get help more naturally from Google.”
Almost a decade later, the advent of generative artificial intelligence has prompted Google to change its service and redesign the assistant to make it “the most useful in the world.” This is because Gemini will understand the same commands as Google Assistant and allow users to speak more naturally.
therefore when Google Assistant ends in 2026will no longer be available to Android users to make way for AI-powered experiences.
