💨 Abstract

Google has updated its Gemini AI to interact with third-party apps like WhatsApp on Android devices, prompting concerns about user consent and data privacy. Android users received an email stating that as of July 8, Gemini AI can access apps such as WhatsApp, even if tracking for Gemini Apps Activity is turned off. This feature allows users to send WhatsApp messages via voice commands, but experts warn it could access sensitive information unless users opt out.
