WhatsApp, after years of waiting here is the iPad version: how it works and when Instagram arrives

For over a year now Google He started his artificial intelligence program called Gemini To help users in the most disparate situations. Only in the last few days, however, the American giant has introduced significant news on the way its program acts on some applications of Android devices including the “reading” of the chats of WhatsApp without the knowledge of users.

What it is about

In detail, Gemini’s new function allows you to have automatic interactions, if it is not disabled manually, not only with WhatsApp but also with applications concerning telephone and messages. Even if Google has specified that you are not “spied on” but that this interaction can provide practical aid, many are still worried about their privacy. Users received a communication via email where it was explained that all the data that come (only in a temporary way) taken by Gemini are not used to improve the performance of artificial intelligence and that they automatically disappear after 3 days, 72 hours.

What can do Gemini

Whoever wonders what the new functions are with the recent update must know that Google’s artificial intelligence is able in total autonomy to set up a timer but also send messages with both the classic application and through WhatsApp thanks to the option called “Activities of the Gemini apps“In this way, users can be helped in various daily activities simply by setting what they want and then everything will automatically happen. The reverse of the medal is that these options, in Android devices, are automatically activated even in users who, on the other hand, have no intention of being” helped “in these activities.

How to deactivate the setting

Even among some cybersiculities experts, the criticism that this function could not be applied automatically without having the explicit consent of the directly interested parties could be melted. Although Gemini is certainly help, not everyone wants to activate this function. In order to be calm, Android customers will have to go to settings, apps and that point disable Gemini or, if planned, remove the function. In fact, there is the double choice that allows only you to deactivate it but also to eliminate it.

For the serenity of users, remember that Gemini is not found on all Android devices and

which, above all, is not automatically installed but so that it is active must already be present on the device in question. Finally, for now, those who use Apple is not affected by this type of change.
