Google has replaced the Google Assistant app on Android with Gemini by default (www.androidauthority.com)

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.

That's some profitable irony right there. I don't disagree with people using stuff the way the want to,but I do prefer choice. Luckily for me I live in EU ,so privacy and choice is more or less still a thing, allegedly.

If that works for you,great. It's a good tip for others as well. I do spend around 70€/2 years of PIA,but I think that's reasonable.
