We've updated this blog post with recommendations from the @Mastodon community. Learn:
👉 How to disable Gemini
👉 How to deinstall Gemini
And why @GrapheneOS @LineageOS and others are better in the first place.
Stop #Google now: 👉 https://tuta.com/blog/how-to-disable-gemini-on-android
If anyone reading this has questions about installing either of these, I've installed both LineageOS and GrapheneOS on a couple different phones now. This one's running Lineage.
auf welchen #Google#Android
#Smartphones ist #Gemini den vorinstalliert ??
auf allen, außer den Custom ROMs ??
En móviles Xiaomi que no aparezca puedes simplemente borrar o deshabilitar la app de Google
It's a real good thing you mention non-google OS's instead of just suggestion how to enable things (and keep on using it)
Non-corporate services are the HEALTHY future.

Gemini isn’t about to start “scanning your phone.” If you use a Google phone running Google’s OS with Google apps and the Google “AI” assistant, then starting today you can use that AI assistant without having to turn on “Apps Activity.” That’s all.
Or, you could just not use Gemini.
There is no new “scanning your phone” thing.
I don't mean to attack you personally but your position here is whitewashing Google's invasion of user privacy here.
Uploading people's WhatsApp conversations to Google's server without explicit user consent is unacceptable.
Are we supposed to trust Google with the content of our private conversations? Especially when they stealthily reach out to grab them. No.
Wish I didn't need a Pixel to run @GrapheneOS otherwise I'd switch to GOS in a heartbeat.
