www.kaspersky.com/blog/…/m and proton.me/blog/turn-off-gemini-on-android were easy enough to find. If I remember correctly the grapheneOS guys spoke on this too.

The first one does tell you how to “completely remove Gemini from your smartphone” under that heading. I do not have the Gemini app installed.

The second one says:

Can you fully disable Gemini on Android?

No, and that’s by design. While you can turn off activity tracking, revoke permissions, and even uninstall the Gemini app on some devices, Google is actively replacing its Assistant app with Gemini.

But, I’ve also disabled Google Assistant across all applications, so I don’t share data with Gemini/Assistant. I had to lose some features to do so.

Overall, your reply serves to confirm for me that I have disabled Gemini on both of my Android devices. Still, I appreciate the links!

  Beware software updates. Google has already announced the Gemini mandate is being rolled out for all devices next year.
