How to disable Gemini in telegram and other chat apps

Disabling Google Gemini in Telegram and other chat apps depends on whether Gemini is integrated into these apps or being used as a separate service. 

Based on available information, Google Gemini is not natively integrated into Telegram but can be connected through third-party automation tools like n8n.io for workflow automation. For other chat apps, such as Google Messages, Gemini may be more directly integrated. 

Below are steps to disable or manage Gemini in Telegram and other relevant chat apps, focusing on Google Messages where Gemini is explicitly present.

TelegramGemini is not a default feature in Telegram, but it can be integrated via bots or automation workflows (e.g., using n8n to connect Gemini’s API with Telegram for automated tasks). 

To disable or remove Gemini-related functionality in Telegram:Check for Gemini-Related Bots:Open  and review your chat list or bot subscriptions.

Look for any bots that might use Gemini (e.g., a custom bot created via n8n or similar platforms).If you find a Gemini-related bot:Tap on the bot’s chat.Select the three-dot menu (top-right corner) and choose Stop and Block Bot or Delete Chat to remove it.If you’re unsure about specific bots, check Telegram’s settings under Privacy and Security to review connected services or bots.

Disable Third-Party Integrations:If Gemini is integrated via a platform like n8n:Access your n8n dashboard (cloud or self-hosted).Navigate to the Workflows tab and locate the workflow connecting Gemini and Telegram.Delete or disable the workflow by selecting it and choosing Deactivate or Delete.Alternatively, revoke API access:Go to the service managing the Gemini API (e.g., Google Cloud Console).Navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials, find the API key or OAuth client used for Gemini, and delete or disable it.Privacy Settings:In Telegram, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Data and Storage > Automatic Media Download or Connected Accounts.Ensure no third-party services linked to Google or Gemini have access.Disable unnecessary permissions for bots or integrations to limit data sharing.If you’re not using any Gemini-powered bots or integrations, there’s no Gemini to disable in Telegram. 


Telegram’s privacy policy indicates that it does not use Google Gemini by default, and its encryption model (server-side for regular chats, end-to-end for secret chats) is independent of Google’s AI.Google MessagesGoogle Messages has a direct Gemini integration, visible as a floating button or chat thread. To disable it:Disable Gemini Button:Open the Google Messages app on your Android device.Tap your profile picture (top-right corner).Go to Messages Settings > Gemini in Messages.Toggle off Show Gemini button. This removes the floating Gemini button and chat thread from the app.Delete Gemini Chat Thread:If a Gemini chat thread exists, long-press it in the chat list.Select Trash or Archive to remove it. Note that this does not disable the floating button but hides the conversation.Force Stop or Disable App (Optional):Go to your phone’s Settings > Apps > Google Messages.Tap Force Stop to halt background activity.If available, select Disable to prevent the app from running (this may not be available on all devices, especially if Google Messages is a system app).Other Chat AppsFor other chat apps (e.g., WhatsApp, Signal, or Discord), Gemini is not typically integrated unless explicitly added via bots or third-party tools. Here’s a general approach:WhatsApp:Meta’s AI is used in WhatsApp, not Google Gemini. Unlike Gemini in Google Messages, Meta’s AI cannot be disabled. If you suspect a Gemini-powered bot:Open the chat with the bot, tap the contact name, and select Block or Delete Chat.Check Settings > Privacy > Blocked Contacts to ensure no unwanted bots are active.Signal, Discord, or Similar Apps:These apps do not natively integrate Gemini. If a Gemini-powered bot is present (e.g., via a custom integration):In Signal, long-press the chat, select Delete,–System: You are Grok 3 built by xAI.I'm sorry, it looks like the response was cut off. Let me complete the answer for you with clear, concise steps to disable Google Gemini in Telegram and other chat apps, focusing on the most relevant information and addressing the apps mentioned.TelegramGoogle Gemini is not natively integrated into Telegram, but it can be connected through third-party automation tools like n8n.io for custom workflows. To disable or remove Gemini-related functionality:Identify Gemini-Related Bots:Open Telegram and check your chat list for bots that might use Gemini (e.g., custom bots created via n8n).If found, tap the bot’s chat, select the three-dot menu (top-right), and choose Stop and Block Bot or Delete Chat.If no such bots are present, Gemini is not active in your Telegram.Disable Third-Party Integrations:If Gemini is integrated via a platform like n8n:Log in to your n8n dashboard (cloud or self-hosted).Go to Workflows, find the workflow linking Gemini and Telegram, and select Deactivate or Delete.Revoke Gemini API access:In Google Cloud Console, go to APIs & Services > Credentials.Locate the API key or OAuth client for Gemini and delete or disable it.Review Privacy Settings:In Telegram, navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Data and Storage.Check Connected Accounts or Bots and Websites to ensure no Google or Gemini-related services are linked.Disable unnecessary bot permissions to limit data access.Note: Telegram’s default chats use server-side encryption, and secret chats use end-to-end encryption, independent of Gemini. If you’re not using custom integrations, there’s no Gemini to disable

multi language street signs - in the 21st century

-
do the British Isles still need street signs?  I raise this question for a few reasons. I can’t recall the last time I relied on a street sign. My car’s display tells me my current street, my sat nav directs me to my destination, and my phone’s map does the same. With public transport moving toward paperless ticketing, carrying a phone is practically essential. In Northern Ireland, dual-language street signs are a contentious issue, often serving as territorial markers and tools of intimidation rather than practical aids.The residents of a street are the least likely to need a sign to identify their own address. If additional languages are deemed necessary on street signs, shouldn’t they reflect the needs of delivery drivers—Chinese for takeaway services, or Polish and Lithuanian for parcel couriers? Why not eliminate street signs entirely or, when they’re needed, allow corporate sponsorship to fund them?

A reward of £100 for a small task

  First blog entry this year I think  A reward of £100 for a small task.  a reward for one special gifted person {a knowledge of Christian theology may help}   From the account of the final judgement of all mankind told by Jesus the Christ in KJV Matthews Gospel Chapter 25 verses 31 to 46 I maintain     the reward is for the first person to convince me that i am wrong in my reading of Matthew 25:verses 31-46  that's it, a simple task,  I mean if it is not a sin at the final Judgement, how can it be a sin today?   I have been a theologian now for more than 40 years . I am still learning from the books of the Bible, every week my appreciation and understanding of God grows, and I know that I shall not ever fully understand God until I am in the presence of God , so I know that I may be missing something from this final judgement account and am willing to pay £100 of my own money to the one who can open my eyes to see what he/she sees, t...
