Hopefully unintalling and disabling is actually doing something. I feel like they are just tricking us and you can't really disable it.

If I have the app disabled it probably can't do anything right?

Which app ?

Which app ?
The Gemini app. I can't uninstall it from my phone but I have it disabled. Not sure if Google's other account access and apps on my phone are going to still feed into Gemini.

I think when google app and play services still present on your device, it feeds data into gemini anyway. Hope you are not using google vanilla apps.
By the way why you arent able to uninstall gemini app ?
Did you tried lineage os with microg which is way better ?! -
Update of what? Android or something else?
Yes. It was bundled as part of either a system or security update.

Is this a US only thing? I have no email and no Gemini app (although there are settings in system)
-
They'd have to install it first.
Google play services says bonjour

It must be an Android update as that's all I ever do, and I never installed Gemini. I just checked and it was there, with permissions to access WhatsApp and multiple other apps. I just removed all the permissions and disabled the app. We'll see if any future updates turn it back on.
Shhhhhneeeeeky bastards.
-
It installed itself as part of an update package.
In the case of my fully updated pixel 9 pro XL, Gemini was installed from the factory. I uninstalled it and installed Google Assistant. It has not re-installed itself for me, and further, I would recommend that if you don't use Gemini, you uninstall it.
This may change once the July patch hits but. As of right now it's not currently installed.

Yes, but the phones of all your peers will have that shit on them.

In my case (Galaxy S21) I can only disable it, not uninstall.

Good thing I don't have that shit on my phone (at least until Google forces it)
The people you're messaging might, though.

Good that I don't do any updates apart from some apps.

This is brilliant, I dedicate that to "updates good" crowd. -

If your phone is unaltered in any way, absolutely nothing you do on it is private, even turned off.
Sweating over one app when your entire phone is the posterboy for spyware? lol

Gemini was automatically installed for me, and the app connections were all enabled, like the article describes. Better check and be safe than to be sorry
Same, but somehow there was a warning and a possibility to switch back to Google assistant instead, which I did
-
This is my assumption too. It's disabled for me. I have no plans to change that.
I don't even have a Gemini app installed in the first place.

For those on Pixel devices, check out GrapheneOS. If not CalyxOS or LineageOS
Its important that we have devices that we control. If your phone doesn't allow bootloader unlock so you can install a different operating system, that's a problem. Claims that security is compromised if bootloaders can be unlocked are just companies using a convenient excuse to maintain control over a device you paid for.
