Gemini’s place as a preinstalled, default AI assistant on the Galaxy S25 came with a check attached.

The worst thing about Gemini is that you can't just use it like Google assistant without enabling the "Gemini apps activity", or whatever it's called, data collection

You used to be able to ask it to set a timer just like assistant and it would work fine, now they require you to enable Gemini apps activity to ask it to set a simple timer. The solution of course is not to use Gemini.
