Wish there were better 3rd party mobile options. On pc I can install Linux on any laptop made in the last 15 years and it will work basically flawlessly. No such equivalent exists for smart phones
My experience with Gemini:
Hey Google, set a timer for 5 minutes.
Gemini: I’m sorry, I don’t understand.
WTF is the point of it then?
Imagine taking away the only useful feature of a voice assistant 💀
My recent experience with my phone is I tell it to set a 5 minute timer and it sets one in the fucking Google search browser, and if I page away I lose the timer.
I’m not signed into a Google account on my phone, am I safe?
I just removed gemini from my phone.
me too and then it somehow popped up in messages which I had to “turn off” separately. removing AI from an Android phone is an illusion.
Anyone know if this is happening outside the US and if it is whether it’s happening inside the EU?
Your chats are saved in your account for up to 72 hours, whether Gemini Apps Activity is on or off.

I wonder how long before AI services are added to ad blockers and VPN privacy controls.
Remember when iPhone was the bad guy amongst these kids? But I guess as long as it has more options, surely it’s better!
Doesnt Apple also do this with Siri and basically every app unless the user untoggles it?
Except Apple has better marketing, and is primarily marketed for those who’re excited for every tech “innovation”.
Yes, for the amount of hate Google gets… Which I think it is fair to be critical of any product that compromises privacy… I recently tried helping my mom clean up her iPhone, and seriously like 100x worse. Almost everything you do on Apple demands you have another Apple device. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever dealt with.
