Android users received an email from Google last week, stating that from July 7, Google has been changing Gemini interaction with some apps on users’ phones. In email, Google said that Gemini will soon be able to help you use phone, messages, WhatsApp and utilities on your phone, whether Gemini App activity on your phone is closed. Let us know about it in detail.

Google says that the Gemini app provides you direct access to Google AI and your chat is stored in your account for 72 hours, whether Gemini app is activity off or off. This means that whatever your choice is Google will store some personal data, which may also include your WhatsApp chat.

This update makes Gemini more useful, as AI Chatbot can now read your WhatsApp message. Users can send reply on behalf of users, but some users who do not want anyone to have access to their personal chat may find it interfere.

How to do Gemini app activity off

Here you will find options to cancel the app permission for phone, WhatsApp and message. However, if we disable these access, you will not be able to allow Gemini to call or message.

Google: While big tech companies are trimming employees on one hand, Google is giving its employees a year -long salary without working. Yes, actually a unique case of Google has come up. According to reports, some engineers of Google’s AI branch Deepmind are being given salary for a full year without any work.

What is the whole matter

According to the Business Insider’s report, some old employees of Deepmind are still taking salary from the company. However, they are no longer working there. The reason for this is Noncompete Agreement. Explain that this is a rule in which the employee is prevented from working in another big company after leaving the company. Especially for a few months, those employees cannot work elsewhere.

In Deepmind, such employees have been placed on “Extended Garden Leave” i.e. they are not part of the company, yet they are also being given salary throughout the year so that they do not go to any other companies.

What is the reason for discussion

While companies like Openai, Meta, HP and Microsoft are fired on one side, on the other hand, this step of Google indicates in a different direction. A former employee of Deepmind says that “a year is a long time in the world of AI”, it means that they can leave behind technical growth during such a long break.

What is Google’s answer

Google says that its contract follows all the rules of business and the company uses noncompete clauses for its safety. However, some employees do not like these conditions. But this step of Google is definitely a matter of discussion among people.
