    It says to turn it off you open the Gemini app on your Android phone and change some settings. I uninstalled the Gemini app completely. I wonder if it’s still running on my account somehow.

      My phone won’t let me uninstall it. And it shows it’s off yet every now and then it rears it’s ugly head.

        • Install adb on your PC
        • Enable developer options on your phone
        • Enable USB Debugging inside the developer options
        • Connect the phone to the PC using USB
        • Open a console window of your choice
        • Execute adb devices and allow USB debugging for this PC on your phone
        • Execute adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.gemini
        • Done

        You can do that with any app you like, they can all be disabled that way. Beware though: if you disable critical system components (like e.g. your last launcher, keyboard or systemui) you might not have a great time using your phone afterwards.
