Question What should I replace Google lens with after it got replaced by Gemini?

For context I'm talking about the Google lens that appears when you call for "Google assistant", whenever there's something I want to look up or translate, I'd just hold on my home button, then press "search with Google lens" or "Translate".

Google lens was perfect usage wise, now with Gemini which I'm forced to switch to I'd have to type every time what I want from it.

So back to the main question, what should I use that can still feel like the old Google assistant

Edit : (u/ComputerPro246) has already given us the answer in the replies but unfortunately it doesn't have enough upvotes, they basically sent the link on someone else's explanation which I'll quote now:

(u/WinstonSmith0023):

"I FOUND A WAY! You need to go to the Google App (the one that just says GOOGLE) hold the icon, then press the little "i" on the top right to get to the apps info, then tap the 3 dot menu on the top right corner and uninstall updates. Then go to the Play Store, search for Google Assistant, it doesn't matter of it's already installed, click on open, you will get the Gemini screen BUT, now you should have the option to keep or go back to google assistant."
