Google Assistant will soon be leaving mobile devices on September 4, with the transition to Gemini as Google's default virtual assistant expected to take several weeks to reach all users.
According to an email sent to Google Assistant users, this change will affect mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, as well as other devices that pair with them.
This includes peripherals and accessories such as smartwatches running Wear OS, headphones or earbuds compatible with Gemini, and car infotainment systems that run Android Auto.
Something worth noting is that cars with Google Assistant built in will continue to work after September 4. Once removed from a device, users will no longer be able to switch back to Google Assistant.
Following the transition, users will still be able to summon Gemini by saying "Hey Google" or by long-pressing the power button, just as they previously did with Google Assistant.
The search giant further writes in the email that it has separate plans to bring Gemini to devices such as Google TV and Google Home speakers and displays.
