Google is expanding the Google Maps integration in the Gemini app's Personal Intelligence to cover users' Maps searches and saved places. Separately, an in-app notice tells AI Ultra subscribers that Gemini 4 Argon will "replace Deep Think soon."

Google has set September 4, 2026 as the start date for removing Google Assistant access on Android phones, tablets, Wear OS watches, headphones, and Android Auto. Gemini becomes the sole assistant on these platforms, though Google Assistant remains active in cars with Google built-in.
