##Mobile AI Usage
Usage patterns shift on smartphones,where AI assistants are embedded at the system level. Among respondents who reported using a built-in AI assistant for at least one task, 40% used ChatGPT, 40% used Google Gemini, and 37% used Google Assistant.
The narrow spread between these figures does not reflect equal consumer preference. It reflects distribution. On mobile devices, users often interact with whichever assistant the operating system surfaces by default.
Google Assistant’s continued reach illustrates that effect. Its usage reflects years of default placement on Android devices rather than renewed consumer adoption. Many users encounter it becuase it is present, not because they sought it out.
That distinction becomes more important as Google prepares to retire Google Assistant and replace it with Gemini this year. However, the rollout is more nuanced than a complete retirement. Google is phasing out the Assistant app, but Gemini will be integrated into many existing Assistant functionalities. The overlap between Assistant and Gemini usage suggests that much of Gemini’s future mobile usage may come from migration rather than finding.
As Gemini inherits assistant’s position in the interface, usage is likely to rise without requiring users to change behavior. the assistant changes, but the habit remains.
Apple faces a diffrent usage challenge. While the iPhone remains one of the most widely distributed consumer computing platforms, Apple has yet to translate that distribution advantage into meaningful conversational AI usage. Siri has not emerged as a primary AI entry point, highlighting how default placement alone is no longer sufficient if capability lags expectations.
Apple has sought external help, including discussions with Google, as it works to deliver a long-awaited <
