You do have the option to use non-Google messaging and dialer/phone apps that are not controlled by or otherwise interact with Gemini.

Kinda ridiculous that you need them, but the option is still there.

Any suggestions?

I use an old-school messaging app, QKSMS. No frills. I'll probably switch back to Should I Answer for phone, but I barely use my phone as a phone.

If you're interested, QUIK is a QKSMS fork that's still being updated.

I've tried calling someone with f-droid but I can't find where to dial their number?
