As of today, Google is implementing a change that will allow its Gemini AI engine to interact with third -party applications, such as WhatsApp, even when users previously configured their devices to block such interactions. Users who do not want their previous configuration to be annulled may have to take action.
An email sent Google recently informing users of the change linked to a Notification page That said, “human reviewers (including service providers) read, write down and process” Gemini’s data. Email does not provide useful guidance to prevent changes from entering into force. Email said users can block the applications with which Gemini interacts, but even in those cases, the data is stored for 72 hours.

No, Google, it’s No good news
Email never explains how users can completely get Gemini from their Android devices and seems to contradict how or if this is possible. At one point, he says that the changes “will automatically begin to be implemented” today and will give Gemini access to applications such as WhatsApp, messages and telephone “if the activity of its Gemini application is on or deactivated.” A few sentences later, email says: “If you have already deactivated these functions, they will remain off.” Any part of the email or the support pages to which Android users informed about how to completely eliminate Gemini’s integrations.
Aggravating confusion, one of the linked Support pages requires users to open a Separate support page Learn to control the configuration of your Gemini application. Following the instructions from a computer browser, I accessed Settings of the Gemini application of my account. He reassured me to see that the text that indicates that activity has not been stored because I have gemini off. On the other hand, the page also said that Gemini “was not saving activity beyond 72 hours.”
