Should Google Assistant Warn You Before a Voice Command Stops Working?

The best migration warning would arrive while the old command still works. Google Assistant starts disappearing from eligible Android phones September 4, and Google says people will not be able to switch back after their device moves to Gemini. Google’s own help page still lists podcasts, news, radio stations, some third-party music services, and Interpreter mode as unsupported in Gemini. So use August to warn people in the moment. If someone asks Assistant to play the same radio station they use on the drive home, or starts Interpreter mode at a hotel desk, answer the request and add one plain line: ‘This may not work after your phone moves to Gemini. Here’s the manual route.’ For routines, name the specific starter or action that will break. Do not send everyone to a feature chart and call the migration explained. The person should hear about the gap before the old button disappears, not when they are already trying to get somewhere or translate a conversation. Should the outgoing assistant be responsible for that warning?
