How to Get Google Assistant on Your Android Phone The Google Assistant app is available for devices running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later.

Explore Google's latest Android Auto update, featuring a new Siri-like voice assistant for more intuitive and safer driving.

However, you can choose not to use Google Assistant for privacy concerns or otherwise. Google released its Gemini app for Android in February 2024 that can replace Google Assistant on your device.

This new extension for Gemini finally brings the app up to par with your old Google Assistant in terms of basic functionality and more.

You can now use Circle to Search even if you aren't using Gemini or Google Assistant as your default digital assistant.
