Did you know Google All Set to Replace Google Assistant with Gemini This Year

 

Tech giant Google has confirmed that it is closing its doors on Google Assistant as that will be replaced with Gemini later on in 2025.

Google shared how the change would apply to all smartphones, tablets, vehicles, and devices that link to your phone like smartwatches and headphones. The same would be the case for television-linked devices.

The news is not surprising at all for most of us because when the tech giant rolled out Bard, it shared how it would bring forward Bard features to its Assistant. Then last year, we saw the company get rid of a host of features found on Google Assistant.

The company shared the news through a blog post where it mentioned how it was busy upgrading more users on cellphones to make way for this change. Later that same year, it mentioned how Assistant won’t be accessible on most devices for new installs through the mobile app store.

The company shared how it’s busy upgrading tablets, vehicles, and devices that link to your smartphone. It’s also keen on introducing the latest Google-based experience to all home devices such as televisions and displays.

The company posted how the change wouldn’t be for older devices like Android 9 and earlier phones that don’t have the right RAM specifics. The requirements for this device on Android entail the Gemini app being up for grabs on nearly all Android devices having 2 GB RAM and running the Android 10 system and beyond. Other than that, it includes Android tablets like Pixel Tablet featuring 2GB RAM or beyond and again having Android 10 and above.

The news is great as Gemini is really equipped to do a lot of tasks on Google’s behalf. So we don’t think anyone would mind the change. This change also signals how Gemini might be the future for Google in not only Android but also for Search.
