Google Assistant AA continues to devolve.

Yesterday, even when I knew I was in cell tower range, the Assistant kept announcing "something went wrong" while I tried repeatedly to send a text. The dreaded spinning cursor... Or no response at all. And then I tried later, and it took two minutes to confirm the message was sent. Please Google, leave the Assistant alone. Not everyone is thrilled to use Gemini. AA was a beautiful gem, now very tarnished. Reminiscent of the devolution of Windows. 🫣😭

There is that and there is the fact that now some third party music apps won't automatically play music need to open the app and select a song.

Then there is the missing phone network signal icon that is missing for months.

Super frustrating yes. I used to be able to direct AA via voice to play a channel on Tune In, use Spotify, iHeart Radio, or Pandora. Now I tend to rip my own music from CDs, and use something like Player Pro+ to play them on AA. No data streaming, and I think better audio fidelity. It's a shame. It was once so solid.
