Has anyone else had Google Assistant force uninstalled and Gemini installed only for Gemini to be completely useless? (sh.itjust.works)

Gemini can't set timers, make reminders(can't connect to "device assistance" with all privacy-invading bullshit enabled).

Is there any other mobile OS that does simple voice commands?

All I want are timers, alarms, date reminders, and apparentlysndroid can't process those anymore.

They did this to me about a year ago and i managed to switch it back, it's a PITA have to go into your google account and stuff. Sorry i dont remember all the details.

No problem, I also did that last year, but this time they've removed the option to switch back to Assistant entirely.

If you still have assistant, i would avoid updating your Google Apps as long as possible.
