Gemini isn’t about to start “scanning your phone.” If you use a Google phone running Google’s OS with Google apps and the Google “AI” assistant, then starting today you can use that AI assistant without having to turn on “Apps Activity.” That’s all.
No, Gemini is not making a ‘concerning’ privacy change to read your texts – it’s actually getting better

in reply to Tuta • • •It's a real good thing you mention non-google OS's instead of just suggestion how to enable things (and keep on using it)
Non-corporate services are the only future which favor ALL of us.
