I've done what I can to opt out of #Gemini and have never used any assistant type programs on my phone. But still, this morning, when I went to searched for something using Duck Duck Go on Firefox, guess what popped up and started doing speech to text on me?
So I basically looked into it a little as suggested here: https://www.androidauthority.com/yes-you-can-disable-gemini-permissions-on-your-android-phone-how-3579888/ and revoked Google's permissions to do basically anything other than send me notifications.
