You can't use gemini if you are not logged in into a google account.
This is one more good reason to never sign in on your android phone.
It's not as good as using graphene, but it's easier, less work, and you can't brick your phone.
The drawback, of course, is that you can't use your map, youtube or gmail account since signing in in any of those logs in the entire device.
But with microg, fdroid and aurora, it's very practical.
- frabcus 1y agoPresumably you can use them all in a browser?
- BiteCode_dev 1y agoIf you attempt to gmail sign in from chrome, it will sign in your chrome account (https://www.mattcrampton.com/blog/sign-into-gmail-without-signing-into-google-chrome/ https://www.mattcrampton.com/blog/sign-into-gmail-without-si...), which will, if you have no account on your phone, sign in your phone. Tricky little buggar that one. Still easier to avoid than rooting, but easy to get wrong by mistake.
- askl 1y agoHow about just not having the Gemini app installed? That seems even easier to do and also lets you continue using the actually useful google products.
- surgical_fire 1y agoThat's how I solved it so far. That will only work until Google makes it impossible to uninstall.
