This would mean that users of other Android smartphones and iPhones would not be able to access the new features that Assistant with Bard offers. While they will still be able to use Google Assistant, they will not be able to access the new features that Assistant with Bard offers.
“It combines Bard’s generative and reasoning capabilities with Assistant’s personalised help. You can interact with it through text, voice or images — and it can even help take actions for you. In the coming months, you’ll be able to access it on Android and iOS mobile devices,” Google describes the feature in its blog post.
