User rants: Gemini on Wear OS lost voice control during calls and keeps regressing
WreckTangle12 · reddit · 2026-09-10
A smartwatch user details Gemini assistant regressions: during phone calls (with the watch mic idle), voice commands like setting reminders are blocked — previously his most-used feature.
- Calling contacts now prompts a follow-up question, then fails to reactivate the mic.
- Home device control has flip-flopped from locked-only, to working well, back to "can't control Home devices."
- The author argues Gemini repeats the same mistakes even after explicit correction, marking a clear usability decline.
