  The Gemini app. I can’t uninstall it from my phone but I have it disabled. Not sure if Google’s other account access and apps on my phone are going to still feed into Gemini.

    I think when google app and play services still present on your device, it feeds data into gemini anyway. Hope you are not using google vanilla apps.

    By the way why you arent able to uninstall gemini app ? 🤔 Did you tried lineage os with microg which is way better !

      I have stock android on a pixel and was able to just uninstall it. So it’s not all devices at least

    If your phone is unaltered in any way, absolutely nothing you do on it is private, even turned off.

    Sweating over one app when your entire phone is the posterboy for spyware? lol
