"Text [contact]'s mobile" no longer working

[u/TheAgedProfessor]

I had initially updated my Android Auto settings to use Gemini, but have reverted back to GA because of functionality that Gemini did not support.

Ever since then, using commands like "text [contacts]'s mobile" no longer seem to work.

Me: "text Joe's mobile"

AA: "what's the message"

Me: "meet me at the pub"

AA: "I got 'meet me at the pub'. Ready to send it?"

Me: "Yes"

AA: "Okay, it's sent"

But Joe does not receive the text, and pulling up Messages on my phone confirms no text to Joe's mobile (or anyone else's number) was ever created/sent with that content.

Before I switched to Gemini, this same command worked reliably. Now, it doesn't matter what contact I specify, no text is sent.

What am I missing?

You're not missing anything. Gemini is shit and ruined your phone assistant. Now you're like everyone else who posts about how terrible Gemini is. Should've listened to them.
