I was shocked when I couldn’t switch back to Google Assistant today. I had tried out gemini for months a while back, and it does not control my phone well. I don’t need advanced AI to remind me to move the laundry in two hours or remind me of my mother’s birthday each year. Or to queue up a specific song on spotify. Also, advanced AI is cumbersome at those things. It’s a real bummer.
I’m assuming this is a way to artificially inflate user numbers to shareholders.
This sucks.


Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, it looks like this is coming to all Android devices, with no way to prevent it.
