Gemini has removed integrations with Google Maps and YouTube, according too a report from 9to5Google on October 28, 2025.The move impacts the AI assistant’s ability to directly access facts and functionality within those popular Google services.
Previously, Gemini users could leverage the AI to perform tasks like retrieving locations from Google Maps or accessing YouTube videos.
