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.

Problem is that if you have a critical application (like banking) that relies on Google services you're SOL.

It's Apple or Google at that point.

Just use the websites instead of the apps.

But then you can’t tap to pay with your phone.
