Google Assistant Will No Longer Work With Waze on iPhone

Google is sunsetting Google Assistant integration in Waze for iPhones, a feature that has been malfunctioning for over a year. This decision, announced on the Waze community forum, comes as Google prepares to fully replace Google Assistant with its newer Gemini AI across all platforms.

While Google assures continued seamless Assistant functionality within Waze on Android, the writing is on the wall. Gemini, already partially integrated into Waze (for incident reporting), is slated to become the primary voice interaction solution. This transition aligns with Google's broader plan to fully replace Assistant with Gemini on Android devices by 2025.

While Google acknowledges Gemini still requires improvements to match Assistant's current functionality, the transition is proceeding. This leaves iPhone users relying on Waze without Assistant integration for the foreseeable future, highlighting a potential lack of focus on the iOS version of the app. Fortunately, alternative navigation apps like Apple Maps and Google Maps offer robust functionality.
