You can do that with any app you like, they can all be disabled that way. Beware though: if you disable critical system components (like e.g. your last launcher, keyboard or systemui) you might not have a great time using your phone afterwards.
So are we just casually mentioning Graphene in every Android article like Linux is mentioned in every Windows article? How many new phones actually support Graphene?
Run a few commands to disable one app and keep my phone intact
OR
Install a whole new OS to avoid one dumb AI app, and the OS only works with Pixel phones (which isn’t even my phone as I actively avoid touching anything Google in the first place)…
If it were about one app, and you could do that, I would be inclined to agree. But it’s not and you can’t. It’s about new bullshit constantly being shoved down your throat.
GrapheneOS without any invasive apps is really bare-bones and limited, that’s what I wanted to say using hyperbole, but I guess figures of speech are too advanced for some people.

Alternatively:
I’ve never even seen Gemini on my phone.

The circlejerk around Graphene is insane, it wouldn’t be as bad if it wasn’t literally only supported by Pixel phones that have 2% marketshare
isnt it only for pixels.
To be fair, the article itself recommends it.
Fair enough. Unfortunately, that only covers around 5% of Android users in the US.
Pretty much. For all the same reasons. Both of them solve all sorts of problems.
None of my work apps nor my banks app are compatible with Graphene. We need legislation at this point.
I don’t believe you

I’m aware, thank you.

A tricky decision, indeed.

Yeah. If you never install software that is.
A C64 doesn’t run invasive software either.
Yes. A GrapheneOS device and a Commodore 64 are basically the same thing.

Thank you definitely few apps I want to remove off my phone.
I don’t have a Gemini app on my phone. The only way to somewhat disable it is through the settings app.
