Upcoming Gemini for Android change sparks major privacy concerns

Google Gemini in itself is powerful, but on Android, you must manually enable Apps — think of them as extensions — to make the AI chatbot even more powerful. Google currently offers several Apps for Gemini, such Phone, Messages, Utilities, Workspace, and more. Now, in a move that's bound to raise some privacy concerns, the company is sending out emails informing users that Gemini will use some of these extensions even if you have Gemini App Activity turned off.
