I have an enterprise account and they added this button today. Guess what used to be there? The profile image where you could so conveniently swipe up or down to switch between gmail accounts. This is the kind of UI garbage that makes you want to move your entire company to another service just because you can.

    It’s for the best, I used to ask Google assistant for alarms and basic searches sometimes, Gemini gives excruciatingly long responses that won’t shut up and recently started responding with things from my past emails assumingly from the Gmail account needed to set up the phone. So now I don’t have Google assistant, and will no longer search anything with Gemini out of principle. Need a new phone OS it appears

      I accidentally triggered Gemini while taking a close-up photo of something in my hand. It threw up a nearly full-screen “how can I help?” message. I muttered “fuck off”, and the message now read, “I’m sorry you feel that way…” Oh my god no. NO. Gemini now disabled.

        It can’t control its personality either. So when you say something like “set an alarm for 5:30am”, and it hears you wrong you say, “Set An Alarm For 5 30 AM”. Slowing down and annunciating. Then it responds Oh Kay repeating your cadence as if it needs to annunciate to you because you don’t understand, haha. Every time someone has heard it around me as been like, wow, that’s a sassy bitch.

        Very much this. I really dislike my pixel 6 pro (i don’t understand the immense hype it got but, whatever), however, i will be getting another pixel when this dies just so i can use GrapheneOS. So good

          Yeah, I have a 7 pro and it seems more like top of mid-tier device rather than a flagship, but I got it for GrapheneOS and will buy Pixel again just because of it.

            Had the 6 Pro, 7 Pro, 8 Pro, and now 9 Pro

            I feel like the 8 Pro is the best of that series, but I don’t have hard evidence to explain why
