Google Assistant is not long for this world. Google confirmed what many suspected last week that everyone will transfer to Gemini in 2025. However, assistant –holdouts can find it difficult to stay until the end of the old Google system. Google has confirmed that some popular assistant functions will be removed in the coming weeks. You may not miss them all, but others can force a change in your daily routine.
Because Google is increasingly being fully consumed by Gemini, it was a foregone conclusion that the assistant would eventually get the ax. In 2024, Google removed functions such as media arms and speech messages, but that was just the beginning. The full list of deletions is still available on the support page (spotted by 9to5Google), but there is now a new series of functions at the top. Here is an overview of what is on the chopping block.
- Favorite, share and ask where and when your photos were taken with your voice
- Change photo frame settings or environmental screen settings with your voice
- Translate your live conversation with someone who does not speak your language with interpreter mode
- Get reports of birthday reernering as part of Routines
- Ask to plan or hear previously planned announcements from the Bell family
- Receive daily updates from your assistant, such as “Send me every day”
- Use Google Assistant on Auto -Accessories with a Bluetooth connection or AUX -PLUG
Some of these are not a big loss – you will probably live without the possibility of getting automatic birthday diseases or changing smart display screensavers by speech. However, others are popular functions that Google has promoted aggressively. For example, the interpreter mode made a splash in 2019 and has since offered real -time translations; Assistant can now only translate a single sentence. Many people also use the planned updates in Assistant as part of their morning routine. Family Bell is also much loved, so that assistant can make adapted announcements and interactive checklists, which can be useful to get children going in the morning. Trying to activate some of these functions offers a warning that they will disappear soon.
