With the removal of Cortana app, you now have access to Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Siri. While you can interact with Google Assistant and Siri via Android and iOS smartphones, Amazon Alexa is accessible only via Amazon branded smart speakers.

That said, Microsoft Cortana app is no longer accessible on smartphones. You will not be able to access previously created content specific to Cortana voice assistant. You will not be able to create reminders, tasks, and lists. You can view them if you work with Cortana on Windows. Microsoft Cortana is currently available only on Windows 10 PC.
