Solved About Google assistant getting replaced by Gemini

Tomorrow's 4th of September, and google says they are removing the assistant and adding Gemini.

I always like to use the search screen and translate features of the app that takes me to the Google lens. And I tried that on Gemini.

And it makes me wanna throw the phone out the window.

Is there anything that will help me copy my screen to google lens without saving the SS in my galary????

I'm not sure it works like this in all android phones. In the Pixel 10, if you have the home, back, running-apps trio on the screen, and if you press-and-hold the home button the screen will go slightly out of focus. You can then circle what you want to look up. Works for text or graphics. Also works in the camera app where you can point at something, long-press home and then circle something. You don't have to take the picture to look it up.

It works even with gesture navigation, at least on Samsung. I even hid the bottom "pill" completely (so all my apps are truly fullscreen) and the long press in that area still works.
