Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), (NASDAQ:GOOG), informed Android users via email on Wednesday that its AI, Gemini, will be granted access to personal apps, regardless of user consent. The rollout has raised significant privacy concerns.
What Happened: Google recently sent out an email with the subject line- "We've made it easier for Gemini to interact with your device," to some Android users, informing them that Gemini will now have access to their phone, messages, WhatsApp, and other utilities, regardless of whether the Gemini Apps Activity is on or off. This change, as per the email, will be implemented on July 7, Gizmodo reported.
