My wife has been trying to get me to switch to Apple since Ive had a Droid X years ago. I've been on android since. It is time to switch. Probably a lateral move, but Google has gone to absolute shit.
You can turn it off by going to Settings > apps > default apps > digital assistant > Google > none.
You should disable the Google app entirely while you're at it.

Won't be using any of those apps.
thats what you get when using software from US corpo. all your reasons to have apple and google are fake. convenience and laziness are the reason we use them. i mean if you use whatsapp youre a subhuman why care about gemini. thats the path to idiocracy.
im using OP12R and uses google, but i dont if it has gemini as integrated in it as a pixel does?
