Waze Ditches Google Assistant on iOS: A Year of Failed Fixes Precedes the Move

Waze is discontinuing Google Assistant support in its iOS application, effective immediately, following a year of unresolved technical issues. The feature has not functioned as intended and the company apologizes for the ongoing inconvenience. Waze aims to introduce an enhanced voice interaction solution based on Gemini, though it is not yet available. Google Assistant will continue to work normally with the Waze app on Android devices. Users are encouraged to provide feedback about their experiences with Google Assistant in Waze for iOS.
