On Pixel 9 stock they mention you can disable AIcore in the settings, so I would assume GrapheneOS is unaffected.
All I know is Gemini is not on my graphene pixel 9

- Install adb on your PC
- Enable developer options on your phone
- Enable USB Debugging inside the developer options
- Connect the phone to the PC using USB
- Open a console window of your choice
- Execute
adb devicesand allow USB debugging for this PC on your phone - Execute
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.gemini - Done
You can do that with any app you like, they can all be disabled that way. Beware though: if you disable critical system components (like e.g. your last launcher, keyboard or systemui) you might not have a great time using your phone afterwards.
Thank you definitely few apps I want to remove off my phone.

I don't have a Gemini app on my phone. The only way to somewhat disable it is through the settings app.

Ew, this article is an ad for another company. I feel icky when people try to monetize my basic human rights.

Alternatively:
- Install GrapheneOS
- Never concern yourself with invasive software again
I've never even seen Gemini on my phone.

nobody has to use an operating system made by an advertisement company.
Except for people with locked boot loaders. They really are trapped in some corporate hellscape. That stuff should just be illegal.

It says to turn it off you open the Gemini app on your Android phone and change some settings. I uninstalled the Gemini app completely. I wonder if it's still running on my account somehow.
As far as I know, on Pixel phones it’s integrated. Discovered that my work phone (Pixel 6) suddenly has it, I’ve never installed it, and I can’t remove it.

Yeah. If you never install software that is.
A C64 doesn't run invasive software either.

Yes. A GrapheneOS device and a Commodore 64 are basically the same thing.

My device's bootloader can be unlocked in 5 minutes, yet it's not on any of these lists you shared
