I haven't turned it on. Am I safe?
Nop. Disable it in the settings/apps

Open settings, and search for"Gemini" from the search bar. That's the only way I was able to get to anything Gemini related. I turned off it's access to everything from there, then the last setting was to switch back to assistant which appears to have turned Gemini off, but who knows (hence disabling it's access to everything anyway).
With search there's only a single "Gemini Settings" that is found. That opens a wizard for me. On the second page, after scrolling all the way down, I can select "No thanks". That's what I was referring to. I was wondering if that's enough.

Sure , in 2010.
Still is. At least in my country its probably more popular than the rest of them combined.

I also don't have a Gemini app but if you search for Gemini in the Settings main menu, it shows up.
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.

Same for you. Proof that Apple isn't using it to analyze your (usage) data.
And it's not okay just because it's the 1st party analyzing it because they arent selling it.I am really tired of the hypocrisy of some lemmy users advocating for maximum privacy to the detriment of everyone around them but on the other hand just saying "yeah, that's totally fine" and basically breaking all their principles.
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.

Look up a YT channel called Tech-Bore
That ain’t proof.

That ain’t proof.
Yes it is, because he shows you

Show me evidence they do.
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:

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.
