It says to turn it off you open the Gemini app on your Android phone and change some settings. I uninstalled the Gemini app completely. I wonder if it's still running on my account somehow.

My phone won't let me uninstall it. And it shows it's off yet every now and then it rears it's ugly head.

You can do that with any app you like, they can all be disabled that way. Beware though: if you disable critical system components (like e.g. your last launcher, keyboard or systemui) you might not have a great time using your phone afterwards.
Thank you definitely few apps I want to remove off my phone.
I don't have a Gemini app on my phone. The only way to somewhat disable it is through the settings app.
!degoogle@lemmy.ml
it would be great to have a non-ml degoogle comm. but then i'm also not willing to put in the work to moderate right now so maybe i'm a whiny asshole
If nobody whines, people think we are ok with how things are, whining is good, even of we can't do something about it
Use Canta & Shizuku You can uninstall pretty much everything
This combo even got rid of something that was ADB blocked in Android 14.
Is it true that newer pixels have RAM dedicated to AI? And even if I turn of Gemini and delete the app I still won't able to use that RAM?
Is it counted within the usual 8-12gigs or is it seperate?
Just trying to find out incase I buy one for graphineOS
On Pixel 9 stock they mention you can disable AIcore in the settings, so I would assume GrapheneOS is unaffected.
In Germany we say: "Gemini auf den Sack" and I think it's beautiful.
