Like Recall, but for your phone: Users with Gemini installed on their Android phones should check both their privacy settings and the settings within the generative AI assistant app as soon as possible. A recent update grants Gemini access to WhatsApp messages, calls, texts, and utilities, regardless of previous user preferences. However, the app is not automatically installed for users who have not already downloaded it.
Android users have begun receiving vaguely worded emails from Google announcing changes to Gemini's functionality on mobile devices. Preventing the AI assistant from accessing communications, storing information, and sending data to Google requires manually adjusting the app's settings or uninstalling it entirely.
