How your Gemini mobile app and Google Assistant work together on Android devices
Tip: If a feature you rely on isn’t supported in your Gemini mobile app, you can switch to Google Assistant.
How Gemini and Google Assistant use your data
When Gemini and Google Assistant work together within your Gemini mobile app, your activity will be saved in your Gemini Apps Activity (if on) and used as described in the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice. When Google Assistant powers features or devices outside of your Gemini mobile app, your activity will be saved in your Web & App Activity (if on). Learn more about how Google Assistant works with your data.
Gemini can help you with calls or texts like Google Assistant did before.
If you are 18 or older and used Google Assistant for calling or texting in the 90 days before you start using Gemini as your mobile assistant, any saved Google Assistant communications request history (for example, “Send a WhatsApp message to Sasha”) will be imported from your Web & App Activity to your Gemini Apps Activity. If your Assistant Personal Results setting is turned on, this data and your communication requests will be used to improve your experience with Gemini, such as picking the right contact or messaging app. You can always turn off Personal Results.
If communication extensions are available in your language, calls and texts are handled directly by Gemini without help from Google Assistant. To make calls or send texts with these extensions, you may need to update your settings. Learn more about these communication extensions.
Google Assistant features in your Gemini mobile app
On Android, your Gemini mobile app gets help from Google Assistant for some familiar quick voice action features. You can also talk to Gemini with 'Hey Google' and Voice Match, powered by Google Assistant. On some devices, you can also complete certain tasks, like answering a call, with quick phrases that allow you to skip saying 'Hey Google'.
Important: These features are not available in the following languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Estonian, Finnish, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Ukrainian.
Gemini is still learning, so Google Assistant will help power some familiar quick voice action features, depending on your settings. This includes prompts like when you ask it to:

When Gemini relies on Google Assistant to take a quick voice action, some Google Assistant settings, such as personal results, apply and you can control them in your Gemini mobile app settings. To change these settings:
