Samsung s26 ultra: Please can anyone help? how do i remove this pop up at least twice a day for the last few weeks bloody annoying please someone help.
If you really don't want Gemini to do anything then (as has been said above) you just need to find the Gemini app in your list of apps, clear cache, clear data, don't allow notifications, and then disable the app. You won't hear from it again. 😊
True, I agree. But Gemini is an app, the phone will work perfectly well without it. I really don't need it to re-write my emails or have conversations with it via Hey Google (I don't like Siri either) I just don't want it. I have tried it, its great, but it's not needed for me.
Galaxy AI features: Built-in Samsung features like Circle to Search, Live Translate, Photo Assist, and Note Assist will remain fully functional, as they rely on Samsung's system architecture rather than the standalone Gemini app.
Standard Google Apps: Your Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Drive apps will continue to work normally as individual apps.
Circle to search is Google/Android most of the built in features now rely on Google as Samsung went in with Google on AI it why Samsung was the first for Circle to search as it was the move towards heavy Google integration over Bixby.
But yeah now most of the AI in your phone uses the Google backend over Bixby.

Well, I don't know how Gemini intelligence looks like. Check if you gave it all permission there. I know Gemini is deeply integrated in S26 ultra.
