Samsung has recently launched their latest phones with Gemini integration. However, users who have Workspace accounts set as their primary phone account have encountered an issue where they have lost the ability to activate the assistant with the phrase "Hey Google" and manage apps and services such as music playback.

While users can temporarily switch back to Google Assistant, the problem arises when the Gemini assistant becomes the primary assistant application once again upon pressing the designated button. As a result, the "Hey Google" functionality breaks once more. This begs the question: Is there a workaround available to address this issue without resorting to adding a standard Gmail account?

While the integration of Gemini in the new Samsung phones brings exciting features and functionalities, it is essential to address any compatibility issues that may arise, particularly for users with Workspace accounts.
