What happened

Users say ‘Gemini as the Google Assistant is a disaster’, according to Android Authority. Google forced Gemini on Assistant users, and they're not happy about it. Users have now taken to Reddit to say that Gemini is less reliable than Google Assistant at everyday tasks, including making calls, setting timers, managing alarms, and more. Google is an Internet and software company based in Mountain View.

Android Auto navigation problems, missing familiar workflows, and difficulty switching back to Google Assistant are adding to users’ frustration. Many commenters say they want a dependable assistant that follows commands without lengthy explanations.
