Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is notifying users that, starting July 7, 2025, Gemini will be able to assist with apps like Phone, Messages, and WhatsApp, regardless of whether Gemini Apps Activity is turned on or off. The vague wording in the email has raised privacy concerns, with users unclear if Gemini will still access these apps even after opting out. While the email says users can disable these features in the “App settings,” it offers no specific steps to do so. Goo

One lesser-known feature of Google Assistant was the ability to identify a song, either by letting it listen to a track that was playing or by humming the tune.

Ask HN: How to Get Rid of Gemini?

After the google+ fiasco I thought Google had learned their lesson about ramming new products down people's throats whether they like them or not, but with Gemini it seems like this lesson has been forgotten. I usually am a pretty happy user of Google's products but they have really ruined the experience for me (and on top of that they are charging extra for the privilege of ruining the experience).

Back in November, I tested the image generation capabilities within Google’s Gemini, which was powered by the Imagen 3 model. While I liked it, I ran into its limitations pretty quickly.

US president Donald Trump waited a beat to soak up the applause.
