I just logged into Gmail, using pc mode on my browser and 2 popups opened, asking me to opt-in or out of both features. I opted out.

And if you do choose to opt out you lose access to spell check, any personalization, and the categories organization for your inbox.
They are forcing enshitification on us if we decide to not use their AI features.
Keep in mind that in Europe this feature is checked off by default.

TBF, the T&C’s are *vague*. It sounds like the original poster is putting 2 and 2 together.

TLDR;
Open Gmail on your desktop or mobile app.
Click the gear icon → See all settings (desktop) or Menu → Settings (mobile).
Find the section called Smart Features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet. You’ll need to scroll down quite a bit.
Smart features settings
Uncheck this option.
Scroll down and hit Save changes if on desktop.

The source is an x post that quotes a Google page that does not say that they are using it for training. The x poster is making a completely unevidenced assertion. This is literally bullshit.
Edit: downvoted for actually checking the sources and verifying the information lol. Ironic isn’t it? Can anybody actually provide any evidence that these settings have anything to do with training?

I swear I’ll never get the hate Apple gets. I’m the type of person that hates downloading apps I already have on my phone and on top of that Apple is known to at least be secure and private so I really don’t get iPhone owners who use gmail, whatsapp or whatever else. If you must use a different messaging app then use signal, not a fucking facebook app.
