Failing the most basic AI task!

As a long term iPhone user, have as of recently made the full time switch to S25 Ultra.

Everything's great apart from one thing, the ability to to ask the assistant to send a message with the screen locked. 

I've made all of the necessary adjustments in settings to allow for assistant to send messages when the screen is locked...

So for example...

MY COMMAND: OK Google (gemini) ... send a message to Amy saying I will be arriving soon

ASSISTANT RESPONSE: I heard, I will be arriving soon... do you want to send this...

MY RESPONSE: YES

ASSISTANT REPOSONSE: Sorry, I will need more information

MY REPONSE: Yes, send the message to amy

ASSISTANT REPOSONSE: Sorry, I will need more information, who do you want to send the message to?

MY REPSONE: Amy

ASSISTANT REPOSONSE: Shows google results for Amy Carter

***** On iphone it was seemless

There is also a considerable delay from confirming YES to the assistances response asking if I want to send the message, and occasionally if I state "yes I want to send the message" it will circle for several seconds before confirming the message, has been sent, however more often than not it will just glitch and show Google results! 

This has been experienced on both wifi and 5g mobile connection, so I know its not the connection speed! 

Anyone else experienced this? 

Know of a workaround? 

It seems as though gemini is over thinking the most basic of requests like this!

Changing the default assistant back to Google Assistant from gemini has much much much better results!!!!!

Have you tried using Bixby

[Coffeesurfers]

I haven't no, but for the time being, the switch to Google assistant is getting the job done

If you asked Gemini, it would tell you why it can't send messages (yet).

Consider that by the end of the year, Google will completely replace Google Assistant with Gemini, Gemini has confirmed this. Gemini still learning what Google Assistant can do. Gemini is already much more than Google Assistant, it can already do a lot.

Well, it is interesting. I just sent a message using Gemini, from Google Messages. It did understand every word and the message was sent like I typed it. Including correct punctuation. Using Galaxy S24 Ultra 

I also asked it which services I was interacting with, just to be clear that It was not Google Assistant.

You are absolutely right. Now I sent a message using Gemini too. 👍👏😊

But I still deleted the message from the Gemini app, it was recorded in the chat, Google doesn't really need to see everything 😂.The message remained in Google Messages.
