Meanwhile, Google’s smart helper, Bard, now goes by the name Gemini. It’s not just on the internet anymore; you can use it on your phone too! If you have an Android, you can get it as its own app. You can even swap out Google Assistant for Gemini if you want!
How to Replace Google Assistant with Gemini AI on Android devices
Remember: You’ll need to have an Android phone with at least 4GB of memory and running Android 12 or newer.
In the meantime, the Google Gemini app is now up for grabs on the Play Store, but only for folks living in the US. Just grab the app, give it a download, and once you open it, it’ll take over as your new assistant on your Android device.
However, if you can’t find Gemini on the Play Store, don’t sweat it. You can still switch to Gemini by changing your Play Store country to the US and using a US Google account. But fair warning, it’s a little tricky to do.
1. For US residents: Go to the Google Play Store and then search for Google Gemini. Once found, tap Install.
2. For non US residents: Open the Gemini app listing on APKMirror.com from your Android phone. Download the latest version, download and install it.
3. After that, launch the app and tap Get Started.
4. Next, just tap “I agree” to say you’re okay with the rules and conditions.
5. After you finish setting up, Gemini AI takes over as your new helper instead of Google Assistant.
How to Switch Between Google Assistant and Gemini
- Open the Gemini app and the tap on your profile icon located at the top right-hand corner. Tap Settings.
- Select Digital assistants from Google.
