Google to Gemini Users: We’re Going to Look at Your Texts Whether You Like It or Not https://t.co/Rd3903fTfs
Google's Gemini, an AI assistant integrated into Android devices, has raised privacy concerns among users due to its extensive access to phone applications, including Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, and Utilities. Reports indicate that Gemini can access these apps even if users disable activity tracking, leading to apprehension about potential surveillance of calls and conversations. Google has begun notifying users about Gemini's capabilities to monitor app usage. Additionally, the Gemini Code Assist feature collects user prompts, related code, generated outputs, and code edits. Despite these concerns, some sources clarify that Gemini's access does not represent a new or more invasive privacy change but rather an improvement in functionality. The controversy has influenced user sentiment toward Google Assistant, with some opting to discontinue its use in favor of Gemini.
