    for months, every time i used google assistant to set a timer, and every few days without asking, i got push messages to use gemini instead of assistant on my phone. there is no way to disable those messages - they only go away if you have at least once activated gemini. btw, assistant functions like the timer DO NOT WORK if you use gemini; it’s really great service to push your costumers to install a feature to take away a feature that is used daily.

      I actually did activate it to test that now, because I thought there is no way they’d leave that out… And it works! It set me a timer.

      But yeah, that’s annoying. Very.

        Well, my system language is not English, which might be a contributing factor. I assumed it would be the same in English, TIL.
