Google recently announced that it will launch a major update on July 7th, making its new AI assistant Gemini the intelligent assistant on users' phones. This update allows Gemini to perform multiple tasks on users' phones, such as making calls, sending messages, and using WhatsApp, without needing to open the Gemini app. Sounds convenient, doesn't it?
However, with this change, many users have expressed concerns about privacy issues. Google stated in communication with AndroidPolice that users can always choose to disable the app activity settings for Gemini, which will effectively prevent chat records from being used as training data for improving the AI model. In short, users can enjoy convenience while effectively protecting their privacy.
In a statement, Google further explained that after disabling Gemini's app activity, users' conversation records will not be reviewed and will not be used to train its AI model. This means users can safely use Gemini without worrying about their data being misused. Additionally, even after turning off the app activity feature, Gemini will still retain conversation records for up to 72 hours to ensure security.
It is worth noting that Gemini is not just a powerful assistant; it will also replace Google Assistant, becoming the new face of future Android devices. Users will be able to easily perform various daily operations through Gemini, such as setting timers and controlling music playback, without worrying about contributing their data.
With the arrival of Gemini, Android users will enter a new era of smarter, more convenient, and privacy-focused mobile assistants.
