The Google Gemini app for Android is now available in the UK and EU

Was offered Gemini for the first time this morning after saying Hey Google. Turned it down, as not sure if I can try it but then still go back when Gemini turns out to be crap.

EDIT - answering my own question...

Switch back to Google Assistant

You can switch back to using Google Assistant as your primary assistant on your phone in your settings. To do this:

Open your Gemini mobile app.

At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Settings and then Digital assistants from Google.

Tap Google Assistant.

Bear in mind, if you're switching back to Google Assistant as your primary assistant:

When you say, 'Hey Google', or activate your mobile assistant by touch (like when you press and hold the power button), Google Assistant will respond.

If your Web & App Activity is turned on, data from your interactions with Google Assistant will be saved to your Google Account. Learn more about how Google Assistant works with your data.

Data saved in your Gemini Apps activity will not automatically be deleted, but you can review and delete it at any time.

I read the article and I still don't really understand what this is.
- It's Google Assistant, but worse with confessed mistakes.
  
  I didn't think it was possible to make Google Assistant worse at this point tbh... but I'm sure Google can prove me wrong.

Yet another useless app. Its only 2MB and not much more than a shortcut to the Google App.
