Just... Disable it. You can switch to the old assistant.
until google decides thats not allowed either
That'll be the day I switch phones.
If I have to use a walled garden, then I'll go the OG Apple daddy.
Look I like my apple stuff too, but it’s foolish to trust Apple not to do obnoxious things for money. We need a Linux phone.
Yup, but for now it's a solution
The article says that they are changing their policy so that even if you turn it off it will still be feeding your actions to AI.
Read the article yo.
You have to have Gemini itself enabled as your assistant on your phone for that.
I wish I knew how. Did this several times already, it always magically turns back on after a couple of weeks.
Oh god, please don't say that.
I've got them both turned off lol
