Funny how I turned off any data sharing for google years ago but the inclusion of gemini somehow voids my previous decision.
Did you download this, or was it an automatic update?
Some people have said it was an automatic update, and it then changed their settings
Im not sure when the update came out but I’ve had two forced updates in the past 3-4 months for my Pixel 6. Im assuming thats when it changed. I am very meticulous about checking settings after updates but It looks like this was only online settings for your google account, not local to the phone, which is probably how I missed it.

Their dumb redirect link didn’t work for me, probably because of adblock.
“Not available for my account type”
Since I use workspace, I have to go to Admin Console -> Generative AI -> Gemini app -> Service status -> OFF for everyone
I’ve not seen this one. How does it manage to remove things without root?
Edit:nvm, answered my own question in the documentation. Uses shizuku which relies on adb
Jokes on them. Google workspace accounts are forgotten bastard children and this hasn’t been and might not get activated on those accounts anytime soon.

Went to turn it off.
Apparently I already did. Marvelous.
Any Google app that would have Gemini baked in has long since been disabled on my phone. I’m presuming it’s bullshit isn’t going to be able to access my Fossify Messages or Dialer or Gallery or every other app I’ve replaced and disabled, especially since I’ve also disabled the Assistant and Google Apps.
(If I’m wrong please correct me.)
I’m okay if it has access to everything, makes it easier to find the porn I was looking for.
I don’t like to be reminded of the porn I was looking for. Google showing me ads based on my porn habits is what sent me down the privacy and security path I’ve been on since.
I was able to send WhatsApp with Assistant since the beginning. What is the deal if Gemini does it?
