You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning
The email states that starting July 7, Gemini will "help" with Phone, Messages, and WhatsApp, even if Gemini Apps Activity is turned off.

Surely overreacting to my correct observation that did not reflect on you directly will make you seem more reasonable.
