Google Gemini voice integration absolutely needs to be prioritized ASAP

Google have now announced that Assistant is to be deprecated and removed from devices from September this year, with access being removed completely from phones, tablets and connected devices starting 4th September.

The option of falling back to using Google Assistant so that Deezer works with voice commands will totally cease to exist, rather than just be an inconvenience of switching between Gemini and Assistant,

Deezer really need to get their act together and sort out Gemini integration promptly, before thousands of users face ending up with a 2nd rate service in terms of accessibility and usability compared to competing alternative music providers.

It’s an issue that has been raised numerous times over many months, but now the absolute end of life is very close for Google  Assistant, and there’s still no evident progress from Deezer.

Yes please. So important for hands free use in the car.

I’m missing the option to choose Deezer as my default music service in Google Home. It’s incomprehensible to me why I can’t play a song or start a playlist with Gemini on my smart speakers or with the voice assistent in my car. 

I’m located in Denmark and Deezer has no integration to Google Home at all here.

Absolutely… I'm actually considering changing to a music service that is better integrated.
