Google's switch from Assistant to Gemini on Android phones this September hasn't gone over well with many Pixel users.
People are sharing their frustrations online, saying Gemini struggles with simple tasks like playing music on Apple Music, setting Waze destinations, or sending Telegram messages.
One even reported an accidental emergency call when trying a basic command.
Users split between praise and frustration
While a few users appreciate how Gemini handles general questions and works smoothly with Google apps like Maps and YouTube Music, most are missing the old Assistant's reliability, especially for third-party apps.
One user said it's frustrating when it can't even play a simple song or send a text.
Another said they just want the dependability they had before.
