haven't found a public google announcement, the screenshot seems to be from emails
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 π€·ββοΈ.
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 π
That is a carrier or phone model issue then.
Edit:
Fuck, I'm wrong, youβre right. I must have spot checked the Gemini fan club or something out of my end users. Still don't know how all our luddite inter-office mail couriers got it.
Looks like Google has added a Gemini options page to Android settings regardless of the app install, which is where my confusion on my own device came from.
Old post
So... it's only an issue for any phone still pulling normal updates through Google Play.That would still be the majority buddy.
I have a stock pixel 6a. I just uninstalled the app a couple days ago. Nothing new popped up yet (And I'm pretty sure it was only installed because I tested it ages ago when it first came out)
Nope. Not sure where you got that from. You need to install the app
