    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.
