I use the phone voice assistants to set timers, and call people when I'm driving.

It is objectively worse at calling people than Assistant was. If I ask you to call someone, don't come up with a scolling list of phone numbers that I have to pick from. At least Assistant called the primary designated number for someone, Gemini just froze and wouldn't take voice commands to pick the number but forced my to pick up my phone.

I turned that bullshit off a couple of days after they forced it on me without asking.
