Google app removing Assistant settings on Android – 9to5Google

🔍 Summary:

Google has recently removed the direct link to Assistant settings from the settings menu in the Google app (version 16.12 and above). Previously accessible through the profile menu in the top-right corner, the “Google Assistant” option allowed users to adjust a variety of settings including voice sensitivity, home control, and personal preferences. This change comes as Google prepares for mobile deprecation later this year. Additionally, some users have noted the absence of “Gemini,” Google’s newer assistant technology, in the app’s settings, despite it being integral to the app’s function. This adjustment suggests a shift in how users will interact with and configure Google Assistant and Gemini settings in the future.
