https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/how-to-disable-gemini-on-android/53771/ and https://proton.me/blog/turn-off-gemini-on-android were easy enough to find. If I remember correctly the grapheneOS guys spoke on this too.
The first one does tell you how to "completely remove Gemini from your smartphone" under that heading. I do not have the Gemini app installed.
The second one says:
But, I've also disabled Google Assistant across all applications, so I don't share data with Gemini/Assistant. I had to lose some features to do so.
Overall, your reply serves to confirm for me that I have disabled Gemini on both of my Android devices. Still, I appreciate the links!
Beware software updates. Google has already announced the Gemini mandate is being rolled out for all devices next year.
