I am very disappointed that Google Assistant was removed from the samsung watch 4. When I set up my new Galaxy S24. I want it back. Bixby is not compatible with most devices. And it just doesn't work as good as googles. Disappointed, I also can no longer use my watch to use samsung wallet, a k a samsung pay. Two great tasks that I can no longer use with an expensive watch. Please let us enable Google Assistant on the home button again. Bixby is not quite there yet. If Bixby can let turn off my TV and lights I'll use it but it can't do that quickly and efficiently, so otherwise it's kinda useless to me.
I thought you had to go into Play Store and actually install Assistant onto the Watch4. I know I did this at one time, but then removed it because it was causing other issues. Since I didn't really use it or Bixby, didn't really matter.
