Google Assistant is losing more features ahead of retirement

Late last week, Google confirmed the writing on the wall: It will retire Google Assistant later this year, making way for Gemini on more of its devices. With Assistant losing several features last year and Google shifting its focus heavily toward Gemini, this move comes as no surprise. By the time Assistant is phased away, though, it won't be as smart as you once knew. Google has discontinued many of its features, and now the company has silently announced it is removing even more "underutilized features" as part of this transition.
