Google confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation. That means Gemini seeing who you know and what you do. You likely have tens or hundreds of thousands of photos. They’re all exposed if you update.

Huh? It's a replacement for android for pixel phones. Therefore it works on.... Pixel phones...

    My point is that if it requires a specific device that most people don't have to install, then it is not easy to install for most people, because it literally cannot be.

    But it's not for most people. It's for Google pixel users, that's the whole point! That's like saying oh this diesel sucks and isn't user friendly because it doesn't work in my petrol car. That's because it isn't for your car.

    Then don't recommend it for people that can't use it, JFC.

    No one is doing that. YOU'RE the one here that is getting angry at nothing. It's just an option for pixel users, who are one of the only demographics locked into Google photos. Other phone users are free to use their stock photo app. You've clearly just misunderstood the original comment and are trying to save face.
