haven't found a public google announcement, the screenshot seems to be from emails
ok what phone should I get next
A pixel. It comes without Gemini pre-installed. That or any phone on the planet without Gemini installed on Android. So the vast majority of them.
What about Gemini Space (aka Ambient Data) that's tied to Android System Intelligence - which is a system app enabled by default that can be disabled (if you know how to disable system apps) but of course cannot be uninstalled.
Also google is planning to replace Assistant with Gemini in the near future so all phones that have assistant (which is again enabled by default on most if not all android phones) will get Gemini sooner or later.
None of that has to do with what is being presented and posted here. They are not just sucking up your data without telling you or anything you didn't ask for when you manually installed Gemini.
Not wanting bullshit in my feed is a far cry from my views on privacy.
Check again. If you've got a pixel, you might have to go into your apps and use the search function to find it. It installs and hides itself as of some recent update.
No, you are incorrect.
Ok, then what are these screens on my pixel 6 pro?
I do not have the Gemini app itself installed, but there's some functionality of it right there.
One is invoking Gemini results via search API and has limited access and the other is the full app you install with the additional functionality and permissions.
This email applies to the latter.
