Google’s Gemini team is apparently sending out emails about an upcoming change to how Gemini interacts with apps on Android devices. The email informs users that, come July 7, 2025, Gemini will be able to “help you use Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off.” Naturally, this has raised some privacy concerns among those who’ve received the email and those using the AI assistant on their Android devices.

Yeah, I'd be happy if they had an unsupported version, but I get that could cause negative publicity for those who couldn't accept that unsupported means exactly that.

Fwiw I use a phone imported from the UK (Nothing Phone 1) in NA without problems so who knows why they won't do this.
