Why are you still using Google Assistant on Android? [Poll]

Google Assistant will officially be discontinued on Android and Wear OS on September 4. Many users have already made the switch to Gemini, but a significant number remain loyal to Assistant. The reason behind this choice is that Assistant still performs better for certain tasks that Gemini has not yet addressed. Several users in a recent discussion shared their thoughts on the matter.

Google has been hinting at Assistant's end for months, and users received notification emails informing them of the upcoming change. This marks the first time in a decade that users won't be able to access Google Assistant through their Android smartphones. Despite Assistant's decline, a substantial majority of users have already transitioned to Gemini, either by purchasing a new device preloaded with Gemini or by following the persistent prompts urging them to upgrade.

However, some have chosen to stick with Assistant, citing its continued effectiveness in specific use cases that Gemini has yet to fully resolve. If you haven't made the switch to Gemini yet, the poll and comments below invite you to share your reasons for remaining with Google Assistant on Android.
