Good that I don’t do any updates apart from some apps.
Comment on On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.
Clanket@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIt must be an Android update as that’s all I ever do, and I never installed Gemini. It was there, with permissions to access WhatsApp. I just remived all the permissions and disabled the app. We’ll see if any future updates turn it back on.
Shhhhhneeeeeky bastards.

Pro tip: you can probably uninstall Gemini via ADB. Android won’t let you uninstall it using your phone’s UI, but since it’s just another package you can probably use the old ADB tricks to wipe it from your phone. Use your favorite search engine to figure out how, it’s not exactly a secret.

Or if you prefer GUI on device apps, Shizuku and then use Cantata
