- Google is planning to roll out integration with Google Assistant on Android devices within 4 years, though the process may take some time.
- As soon as it supports the same features, the company will replace the current Assistant with Gemini.
- In the meantime, it will continue to support existing devices, including Wear OS smartwatches, navigation units, and Android Auto in-car systems.
Google plans to do this, according to Ars Technica and The Verge.
Google says that the Google Assistant on Android phones will be replaced with Gemini after 4 years, and the company may take some time to complete the transition.
According to a report from the company, it is not possible to move the current Google Assistant features to Gemini on smartphones and tablets right away.
Google also says that the reason for the delay is that Gemini, which will replace Google Assistant, is integrated into the same system on Android as the existing assistant. The company also notes that how quickly this integration can be completed depends on how quickly the new features can be rolled out.
In the meantime, Google will continue to support existing devices and services, including Google Home and Google TV, where Assistant may still be used for some time after 4 years.
Google adds that Gemini will be able to perform the same tasks as Assistant, and also that it will be more capable and will understand context better.
