TL;DR

Google will remove access to Google Assistant on Android phones and tablets, along with paired devices like Wear OS watches, headphones, and cars running Android Auto, starting September 4, 2026, with the rollout expected to take a few weeks. In regions where Gemini is available, users will have only the AI-enabled assistant. Google Home and Google TV are unaffected for now. The Verge is seeking official confirmation as the change moves Android’s voice assistant into the “Gemini or nothing” era.
