Google is delaying the transition from Google Assistant to Gemini on Android devices, initially set for late 2025. The revised timeline now extends throughout 2026, as Google aims for a seamless user experience. Assistant is expected to be phased out across various platforms, including tablets and smartwatches. Gemini is already performing many Assistant functions, with over 40 languages supported. The recently launched Gemini 3 Flash promises improved efficiency and reduced costs, signaling significant advancements in AI capabilities.
