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.

Google assistant “app”: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googleassistant&hl=en&gl=US
I think once it’s rolled out in your region, the assistant will pester you to switch to Gemini.
There is no Gemini app of any kind for me either.
Interesting. I use it all the time but I don’t have a separate app installed for it.
