Samsung Is Removing Google Assistant from Its Smart TVs

A total of17 featureswill be removed from Google Assistant in February 2024.

But that’s not allSamsung is actually removing Google Assistant from all of its smart TVs.

This unprecedented change takes place on March 1st.

The policy change in question is unknown.

Samsung goes on to say that Bixby and Alexa are still supported on its TVs.

Hints of this change began cropping up last year.

Every Samsung TV released in 2021 and 2022 included Google Assistant, but the 2023 lineup did not.

It seems that Google Assistant is circling the drain.

Dozens of features have been removed from Google Assistant over the last year.

Call it what you want, but this isn’t a coincidence.

But Google Assistant probably won’t die.

Instead, it will be rolled in withBard, the new conversational AI developed by Google.

In any case, Samsung TV owners who rely on Google Assistant aren’t very happy.
