Google's final shutdown date for the classic Google Assistant on Android phones and tablets. After years of deprioritization, Gemini fully replaced it on mobile — ending a decade-long voice assistant that once powered hundreds of millions of devices across phones, speakers, and displays.

Collateral damage: Years of voice command customizations, routines, and smart home configurations needed to be rebuilt in Gemini.
