Google grants Gemini AI access to Android data, raising privacy concerns.
Starting July 7th, Android users may wake up to find that Google’s Gemini AI can access their favorite apps, like WhatsApp, Messages, and Phone, even if they’ve previously opted out.
Unless users take explicit action, the AI assistant is getting cozy with third-party apps by default, thanks to a quiet policy update that Google framed as a “helpful” new feature.
