      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 ?!

        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

          Why are you being downvoted for this? In stock devices the user has no way to even start looking at what is being run. All you can do is trust the manufacturer.

            Because it’s worth plugging up some privacy holes even if you can’t get all of them. Google already knows my name, address, and phone number, but that’s no reason to let 5th Edition Character Sheet learn it too. They already have gigabytes of personally identifiable data on me, doesn’t mean I’m cool with them bumping that up to terabytes
