    No. They provided me a nice little button that allows me to disable Gemini, and they have allowed me to opt out of any usage. So again. Show me that it is still active after I have disabled it.

      I was curious so I searched. This is the best info I could find.

      https://proton.me/blog/turn-off-gemini-on-android

      Proton claims that even if you turn everything off, it will still watch in the background because Google is replacing assistant with Gemini. That still hasn’t happened on my phone. I can still use the regular Google assistant, but I feel like I’m not smart enough to evaluate the claims to know whether it is really running on my phone or not.

      Proton also has a profit motive in making people upset with Google, so I don’t know.
