minus-squareFredselfish@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·18 hours agoMy phone won’t let me uninstall it. And it shows it’s off yet every now and then it rears it’s ugly head.
minus-squaresquaresinger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·17 hours ago Install adb on your PC Enable developer options on your phone Enable USB Debugging inside the developer options Connect the phone to the PC using USB Open a console window of your choice Execute adb devices and allow USB debugging for this PC on your phone Execute adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.gemini Done 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.
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·11 hours agoAlternatively: Install GrapheneOS Never concern yourself with invasive software again I’ve never even seen Gemini on my phone.
minus-squaresquaresinger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·8 hours agoYeah. If you never install software that is. A C64 doesn’t run invasive software either.
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·7 hours agoYes. A GrapheneOS device and a Commodore 64 are basically the same thing.
minus-squareHawk@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·13 hours agoI don’t have a Gemini app on my phone. The only way to somewhat disable it is through the settings app.
