I had to download this app because the ways I used to open the assistant manually with my thumb have been gone away with. Recently I have to tap this assistant app and then tap the microphone again first before it listens. it was never like that. I refuse to use Gemini. Google voice to text and Gboard mic have gone so downhill it gets almost every other word wrong. it still can't spell my kid's names correctly and there's still no way to force it to on Samsung devices. Going back in time here

Why? Why did you change the Android hold home button shortcut from something useful (Assistant) to this creepy screen cap thing I'll never use and can only turn off? Not to mention, with a case on my phone I CAN'T reliably swipe up from the corner of my screen! Imagine having people test basic trigger functionality before dumping it on the world.

Like others have described, the assistant has become less and less functional over time. When I drive, I say "hey Google"and ask it a command. It pops up, listens, acknowledges my response, then does nothing. this happens in my car, on my phone, outside of driving. I have also experienced the "unlock device first" issue. Google used to have a great ecosystem and apps, but you can't live in a house where the manager comes in and keeps changing your furniture (and your locks).
