Google Assistant has an official end-of-life date – September 4. While many have already made the jump to Gemini, a number of Android users are still holding on to Google Assistant. Why are you?
As Google has been hinting at for months, Assistant is shutting down on Android and Wear OS in just about a month. Users were notified via email.

This would mark the end of a long transition from Assistant to Gemini, but also the first time in a decade that users wouldn’t be able to access Google Assistant via their Android smartphones.
As it stands, the vast majority of users have transitioned from Assistant to Gemini, whether through the purchase of a new device pre-loaded with Gemini or simply upgrading through the constant prompts Assistant has been putting up about Gemini for some time now. Yet, some have stuck with Assistant.
