Users complain Gemini is a step back from Assistant: Adding to lists requires confirmation
Romiha00 · reddit · 2026-08-19
A user expresses frustration that Google Gemini lacks the directness of the old Google Assistant. Simple commands like adding apples to a shopping list now trigger a confirmation prompt, even after users attempt to disable it in settings. This extra friction makes basic voice tasks more cumbersome compared to the previous experience.
