Google’s New Change for Gemini Turns Out to Not Be a Privacy Concern

On Tuesday, Google sent an email to select users indicating that the Gemini AI assistant on Android would connect to certain applications, such as Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, and Utilities, regardless of whether the App Activity setting was disabled. The email stated that users could turn off these features in the Apps settings, leading to confusion about the term "Apps." The "Gemini Apps Activity" setting, currently available only on the website, governs whether Google retains user prompts exchanged with Gemini in an activity log. When enabled, this setting allows Google to use user data for improving its products and services, while disabling it results in data being deleted after 72 hours. Previously, with the setting turned off, the Gemini AI assistant could not connect to on-device applications, but an update scheduled for July 7 will lift this limitation, allowing interaction without activating activity logs.

Google May Give More Access to Gemini on Android, Raises Privacy Concerns

On Tuesday, Google informed select Android users via email about an upcoming enhancement to its Gemini AI assistant, which will allow it to interact with various on-device applications starting July 7, regardless of user settings. The email, which has been shared on social media, indicates that Gemini will interface with apps like Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, and Utilities, even if the Gemini Apps Activity is turned off. Users can disable these features in the Apps settings, but the email's wording raises confusion about privacy and data usage. Currently, the only way to restrict app access is through the Gemini application’s Apps page, but the update suggests that Gemini's interactions will continue regardless of these settings. There has been no formal announcement from Google to clarify these changes.

Google’s counteroffer to the government trying to break it up is unbundling Android apps

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has proposed that Google divest its Chrome browser as part of addressing alleged antitrust violations. In response, Google has suggested alternative proposals that focus on its financial arrangements with partners like Apple and Mozilla, rather than breaking up its products. Google's proposed remedies include a three-year prohibition on bundling licenses for Chrome, Search, and Google Play with other applications, while still allowing payments for default search placement in browsers. Google plans to appeal a ruling by Judge Amit Mehta that labeled it a monopolist and intends to submit a revised proposal by March 7th before a trial in April.
