Gemini Can Finally Do One of Google Assistant’s Oldest Tricks
Summary
-
Gemini replaces Google Assistant on Android phones in 2025.
-
Gemini lacked song identification characteristics, causing user frustration.
-
The recent updates on Gemini now automatically launch the search for songs from the Google application for the identification of songs.
One of the reasons why I was not super excited by Gemini is the number of things that he lacks compared to the former assistant Google. For a very long time, the assistant was able to identify songs when you ask for it, which can be a real life buoy. But with the Gemini entering the spotlight, this transparent experience has disappeared, leaving a frustrating void.
For a while, asking Gemini “What song is it?” was encountered with a very useless suggestion, just to use a musical recognition application. It was a big step back compared to the experience of the assistant to which we got used to, forcing people to go elsewhere for something that was so easy. Fortunately, with the Gemini who should take the relay for the assistant later this year, it is finally corrected.

RIP: Google Assistant will be fully replaced by Gemini later this year
The days of Google Assistant are numbered. Later in 2025, Google officially plans to replace the assistant with Gemini on Android phones. This occurs after the company spent last year publishing updates of features aimed at putting gemini equally with the much older Google assistant.
In recent weeks, an update from Gemini on Android has brought this much necessary functionality. Now when you ask Gemini to identify a song, she automatically launches the Google application search function. You will see the familiar and pulsating sphere on your screen while listening to music. Unlike Assistant, the results always open in the Google application itself, but it is always a huge improvement compared to Gemini by essentially shrugging the shoulders and telling you to kick.
In March, when Google announced its intention to depreciate Google Assistant in favor of Gemini, he mentioned that he had more work to do. The company said it focused on improving the “quality of day -to -day -of -day” quality of gem experience “for people who count on Google Assistant. The identification of songs is clearly one of these features, and we are happy to see it arriving finally.
I am still not convinced that Gemini is better than the assistant for this type of thing that did not need to need the AI, but it is clearly one of these features that you do not appreciate before it has passed. Just be able to talk about an order and listen to my phone for music is pleasant to have. This change is currently live on Android. However, on the iPhone, “what song is” still does not trigger the search for songs.
