This means:

  • Downloading or updating the Assistant app now gives you Gemini instead.
  • You can switch back to Assistant in the Gemini app settings.
  • This might be Google's first step towards replacing Assistant completely with Gemini.
  • Some users are unaware of the switch and see two Gemini apps on their phones.

Overall, this may suggest Google is phasing out Assistant and transitioning users to the newer Gemini AI technology.

Your device is not your device. Google's device, google's rules!

    Nobody's violating your rights by publishing an update to the software they provide. If you don't like it android gives you an option to freeze apps at a particular version. You can let go of your pearls now.
