I updated my 22 ultra to the new One UI now I can't access my assistant with the corner swipe feature they LITERALLY just added not that long ago. Why change how a feature works if you're just going to keep taking the functionality away?! Sometimes I'm in a loud environment, I don't want to have to leave the room just to look something up.

 
 Don't even get me started on how the assistant is now defaulted to the power button, making it so I can't turn my phone off. Are they off their gourds? Just leave things alone if it works, this new way of doing it is actually garbage and Samsung should be ashamed. And don't start with the whole "iT's GoOgLe'S fAuLt." It's in my phone's advanced settings, not Google or the assistant.

na. not replaced. Gemini doesn't do 90% of the things assistant can do.

I don't know how you phone is set up, folders what not.

I use Gemini enough, that I put it in my dock. I actually have 7 apps in my dock.
You can do that with Goodlock and HomeUp 1747110068991.jpg

I appreciate the help, unfortunately I HATE Gemini with a passion. I prefer the assistant because I ask it to do things and it does them. Talk to Gemini and all I get is a search result. I want an assistant not a search engine. Once again, thank you for the help! I just don't like AI unfortunately ๐Ÿ˜ž

Simple things like settings alarms, reminders, opening different widgets/apps i don't feel like navigating to, etc. Asked Gemini to do some of these when it was forced upon me (after they took away the home button long press for GA and made "Circle to Search" the default) and all I kept getting was search results. I found that to be unacceptable and that is why I refuse to use it even now.

the assistant and gemini both get toggled using Assistant app option of One Hand Operation +.
