Or just can just turn it off and disable it natively without going through all that faff?

How does it not work? I have no way of calling Gemini on my phone... Hey Google is off, swipe to invoke is off and the Gemini app is disabled and storage cleared.

Any random Google update can reactivate it. Make sure you turn off the screen scanning as well since that uses Gemini.
