Still is. At least in my country its probably more popular than the rest of them combined.

Thank you. We had actually already checked this but had not found Gemini in the settings.

Turns out typing "gem" in the settings search is not enough. Only typing "Gemini" returned a result.

Sneaky, aren't they?

I cannot find it as an app in the app listing.

I find it only through search in settings, and it opens a screen - asking to activate it.

It seems weird.

The article we are commenting on, along with the countless others that call out Google/android for snooping in your data and selling it off is my proof.

I really tired of lemmy users that think because one thing is bad- ALL things similar are bad.

Is almost like nuance is just something kids don’t seem to understand anymore.

That ain’t proof.

Yes it is, because he shows you

I can't. Everything they release is proprietary and locked down, so let's just trust their narrative.

I can only recommend well researched eyeopener from Techaltar:

So, they’re doing shit you can prove, but they’re doing it. Do I have that right?

When the time comes that I’m willing to go to random dudes on YouTube for my news, I’ll buy whatever bridge you’re selling.

That day isn’t today.

I will be honest that I don't know what exact shit are we discussing here I rather wanted to point out that Apple might not be as much privacy first company as they like to present themselves.

If they’re not, I’m sure it should be easy for you to provide evidence to support your claim. That’s all I’m asking.

That is the shit we are talking about.

I don't have the app, and searching for "gemini" only gives "gemini settings" which when clicked opens the promt of "do you accept changing Google assistant to gemini", clicking "not now" just sends me back to setting search.
