Waze is not only one of the best available navigation applications, but is also one of the most used. However, he is not free from failures and problems, and one of them has been present in the application for an entire yearAt least in the iPhone version. In Android, we don't have the same problem.
In the past few months The operation of Google Assistant in Waze for iOS has been erraticGiving problems to users, and the company has tried to solve it all this time. Waze decided to throw in the towel and eliminate the support of Google Assistant in its application for iOS, but everything is not lost.
Waze says goodbye to Google Assistant in iOS
Waze confirmed that Will eliminate Google Assistant support in the iOS application. The reason, according to the company in its forums, is that in the past year, the Google assistant did not work properly in the Waze application for the iPhone, unlike the application for Android, where it does not present the same problem.
After a year trying to resolve the failures of this tool, which for many users is a key and very useful part of Waze, they decided to throw in the towel: Google Assistant Less Waze for iOS. According to comments on forums:
“As many of you have experienced it, this function did not work properly for a year, so we apologize for the disadvantages for all this time.
Instead of simply “parach” a function that has difficulties, we decided Eliminate Google Watch [la app de] iOS of tomorrow [jueves 27 de marzo]. We will replace the assistant with an interaction solution through the most advanced voice in the near future. “”
Google Assistant was a problem for Waze users in iOS, but not on Android. Your replacement could be Gemini
As mentioned at the end of the message, Google Assistant will leave Waze for iOS, but a new voice assistant will replace him. The company did not specify which assistant will be, but it is not too risky to assume that it will be Gemini. After all, Google replaces the assistant with Gemini in all its products, so Waze could opt for the new Google assistant as a natural successor integrated into the application.
While Google Assistant has had problems properly on Waze for iOS, the assistant works perfectly in the Android version of the application, and on this platform, it will not be interrupted. The company's message indicates: “Google Assistant will continue to work without interruptions at Waze for Androidwhere he experienced optimal performance in a coherent manner. “”
