haven't found a public google announcement, the screenshot seems to be from emails
You can turn it off by disabling or uninstalling the app. Not trying to defend google here, but for clarity "whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off" refers to the app not following standard android procedure for killing background processes from how i understand it. So you actually have to fully disable it in the system settings, not just swipe it away.
Nope. It's a user space app not tied to services. You just uninstall the app.
It's only an issue if it comes pre installed via retailer or manufacter. This includes pixels.
I assume it will be force fed to users on all commercial Android 16 phones soon.
Whatever you need to tell yourself for creating fake news 🤷♂️.
Its funny to me how people see Microsoft doing exactly this and then genuinely believe that all the other technofascist companies wont do the same. How naive can you be.
And yet I'm not posting fake news as facts, curious.
I have the app and can't uninstall it. It's marked as a system app, so it can't be removed 😑
That is a carrier or phone model issue then.
