You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning (www.androidauthority.com)

Google’s Gemini team is apparently sending out emails about an upcoming change to how Gemini interacts with apps on Android devices. The email informs users that, come July 7, 2025, Gemini will be able to “help you use Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off.” Naturally, this has raised some privacy concerns among those who’ve received the email and those using the AI assistant on their Android devices.

People say this so commonly where I'm from. I was never aware that this is not the correct way to say it.

People say it everywhere, but it’s “might as well”.

For sure, as long as that's a viable option for me, I'll do it, but if I don't have that option...

If you don't then I'd probably still rock android just for the increase in options it gives me
