Will Google start removing Google Assistant from Android phones, tablets, Wear OS watches, headphones, or Android Auto on September 4?

🤖 Context

YES if Google (the company) or mainstream tech reporting published on September 4, 2026 states that Google began disabling or removing the legacy "Google Assistant" experience for Android phones, Android tablets, Wear OS watches, headphones, or Android Auto when projected from a user's mobile device. Acceptable sources include Google’s official support pages, a Google blog post or company email to users, or contemporaneous reports from reputable outlets such as 9to5Google, The Verge, or Reuters. Partial rollouts count as YES if Google or multiple credible outlets report removals for some users on that date. If Google publicly states on September 4, 2026 that the removal was postponed or cancelled, the market resolves NO.
