    Steps to disable Gemini app connections:

    Open the Gemini app from your Android > device

    Click on your profile in the top right corner Open Apps Click to toggle off each app extension

    Wait…what Gemini profile…I literally don’t have one, I open this dogshit and it asks me to change to Gemini. Guess I’m immune since I never plan on activating that dogshit

      IIRC, these settings are created by installing the Gemini app - if you haven’t elected to download it that’s why you don’t see the settings.

      Who knows when that app will mysteriously appear though.

        Just another thing to uninstall through ADB terminal. Never buying Samsung again…can’t root this garbage sadly
