Enabling it is OPTIONAL. Such as enabling the former Google Assistant.
If you want a wise assistant, you need to feed it with knowledge. Period. Directors in traditional companies have assistant persons who answer private phone calls, read private messages, and more.
It's easy to make clicks on Google, no?
- yummypaint 3y agoOn my android home screen, the prime real estate formerly occupied by the weather app is now a permanent unremovable banner add saying "google assistant disabled, tap to continue." AFAIK there is no way to remove it without signing away more of my privacy. I can't substitute it for a normal widget that will tell me the local weather. Google clearly doesn't consider assistant use to be "optional"
- rpdillon 3y agoYep, similar to Play Protect. I disabled it, and now it nags me on every install from F-Droid to re-enable.
- HackerThemAll 3y agoI spent considerable time disabling all options related to Google Assistant and have no sign of it. Don't know what they do to you there in America.

- waynesonfire 3y agoEnabling it may be optional but the workflow will be filled with dark patterns to encourage it and dark patterns to make it difficult to opt-out. Also, is it only enabled if both or in case of group texts, all parties agree to it?
