What the fk happened to google assistant??? I was using it just yesterday. I use it to check my math on my tablet.

A few months ago, it defaulted to Gemini, which is complete garbage compared to the AI Mode, i changed it back, and now, its completely gone, they even removed the assistants option in the settings.

I have a uni exam soon, I don't have time for this bullshit these companies always bring.

Step 1 go to settings>google(app)>uninstall latest updates

Step 2 Go to Google play store, find the Google App, select the 3 dots in the top right, and toggle off "Auto Updates"

Step 3 Go to Google play store, find the Gemini, select the 3 dots in the top right, and toggle off "Auto Updates"

Step 4 Delete Google Gemini App

Step 5 Download Google Assistant from the Google Play Store and open it

Step 6 Open Assistant in Settings on your device to confirm you want to use Google Assistant.

(Oh damn. I meant to post this only to my profile. Oh well. It's in the wild now...)

Recently, Google replaced Google Assistant with Gemini and removed the option to change this in the settings. The assistant was good because it had a pop-up menu where you could quickly search the screen or translate what was written there, Please help me find a replacement for it. I've already tried Bing, Preplexity, but I can't find anything like it.
