What changes with gemini to Android
Currently, official e -mail and support pages do not provide coherent information on Gemini’s true behavior on this change and how to disable it. However, we know that twins can interact with other applications. For example, it would be able to make calls through the telephone application or send messages via WhatsApp.
Gemini will still be able to interact with your Android applications, even if you have disabled the Gemini applications activity in Gemini applications settings. This configuration allows Google to save your interactions with Gemini applications. They are used to form the IA by allowing “human reviewers (including service providers)” to read, write down and process Gemini application conversations, “according to Google’s support page.
What to know before turning the twins to Android

What happens after turning the twins to Android
Even after turning off the twins to Android, there are some key things to understand how your data is managed and what configurations may still require your attention:
If you have already disabled Gemini’s functions, they should remain outside: Google states that if you have previously disabled Gemini’s access to applications, this privacy settings will persist after update. However, it is advisable to check the settings to make sure nothing has changed.
No forced installation: Gemini app will not automatically install if it is not already present on your device. Control if you have to add it or not.
Human data review: Human reviewers can review and write down conversations with Gemini for quality control and training. Although your activity is eliminated, human -reviewed data can be kept up to three years, and this data is disconnected from your Google account before your review. Avoid sharing confidential or sensitive information on Gemini chats, as Google explicitly advises it.
Kurt’s Key Takeaways
Although some users may accommodate this change, if you evaluate control and transparency on your data, limit your access is the best option. Unfortunately, Google orientation on the subject is dark and cannot completely deactivate the twins in Android, unless you take root android phone. But by proactively reviewing and modifying some configurations, you can recover some control.
