Google initially announced that its voice assistant, “Google Assistant,” would fully migrate to the Google AI “Gemini” by the end of 2025.

However, at the end of 2025, the migration schedule was adjusted, effectively resulting in a delay. Despite this, it appears that Google Assistant may soon make the full transition to Gemini after all.

Following an analysis of the app files from the Android “Google” app v17.8.62 update released on Friday, March 6, 2026, we confirmed the addition of strings related to a new system alert: “Google Assistant is gone now.” This alert is designed to notify users of the final transition from Google Assistant to Gemini.

<string name="assistant_app_ineligible_punt_title_text">Google Assistant is gone now</string>
<string name="assistant_app_use_gemini_title_text">Gemini is your new AI assistant from Google</string>
<string name="assistant_app_use_gemini_description_text">Gemini has replaced Google Assistant. Let Gemini help with tasks you&amp;#8217;re used to, and &lt;a href=%1$s&gt;learn more about what&amp;#8217;s new&lt;/a&gt;.</string>

<string name="assistant_app_ineligible_punt_title_text">Google アシスタントはご利用いただけなくなりました</string>
<string name="assistant_app_use_gemini_title_text">新しい Google AI アシスタント、Gemini へようこそ</string>
<string name="assistant_app_use_gemini_description_text">Google アシスタントは Gemini に切り替わりました。いつものタスクは Gemini にお任せください。&lt;a href="%1$s"&gt;新しい機能&lt;/a&gt;も追加されていますのでぜひチェックしてください。</string>

As of early March 2026, Android users are still able to select and continue using “Google Assistant” instead of “Gemini.” However, the inclusion of the “Google Assistant is gone now” system alert suggests that a forced migration is imminent, which may signify the permanent end of the Google Assistant service and brand.
