Recent update broke it. I don't need a voice assistant, I need a quick button to search amd translate the screen, that's all. It tries to be a "smart" assistant a bit too hard, removing these 2 important features just because it doesn't think there is any text on screen, it's really frustrating. On top of all this you cannot disable microphone permissions, it just brute force enables it without any change in settings

Google Assistant is a great tool... When it works. "Read page Aloud" command is a FAIL most of the time now. :( It can't detect the web page even if the news article is fully opened in a browser. Even tried different browsers. (Galaxy S24 all apps updated all the time). Disappointing. EDIT : in the meantime, I found a workaround (which works occasionally): open 3 dot menu top right and select "Listen to this page" .

10/12 years ago you could chuck any command at Assistant (and whatever it was called before then) and it would work fast, seemlessly, efficiently and accurately. I was so impressed back then. However every year as phones and technology have improved it's got worse and worse and now is mostly unusable. The biggest bug being it's refusal to randomly hear 'Hey Google' on a whim. Phone book crossover is dreadful with it rarely getting the contacts correct.
