I'm always using assistant to play music in the car or on home speakers. Gemini isn't able to do this. I also discovered I can't use the Gemini app without allowing it to replace the assistant.
I will say I have had similar problems getting assistant to identify songs. It used to work pretty seamlessly.
Against all privacy recommendations I do allow my phone to id music at all times. Nice thing is I have a shortcut to history, it doesn't always work, bit does most of the time.
I was surprised to find Gemini had replaced assistant. It couldn't even add items to the shopping list. Thankfully one is able to revert the change.
Gemini can't do a damn thing. It's completely useless as a digital assistant. It can't even play music on YouTube Music. Who thought it would be a good idea to replace the Google Assistant with this?
So you can't ID songs either?
Yeah but I'm not going around boasting that I can.
Don't need to install a dedicated third party app for that, the Google app already exposes a widget for sound search
