Gemini continues pushing out Google Assistant in a steady rebrand effort

The Gemini app is being updated, with the "Hey Google & Voice Match" settings page renamed to "Talk to Gemini hands-free." Assistant labels are being replaced with Gemini throughout the wake-word setup flow. Google is phasing out the Google Assistant branding, with plans for further rebranding as March 2026 approaches, leading to the retirement of the classic Assistant from most devices.

The transition will include more instances of Gemini branding replacing old Assistant references across the Android interface.
