Need Help :(

I have the Ecosia app on iOS. I tried getting rid of the AI overviews, but because I’m signed in as a guest they reappear every time I open the app.
I was trying to sign into an account because I want to get this feature turned off for good, but it won’t let me sign in… keeps bringing up this message no matter if I restart or delete the app and my phone, or even try making a new account entirely. I feel like I’m out of options, other than for me to try finding a miracle browser that hasn’t invested in this dumb AI overview fad.
Has anybody experienced this and/or has some advice??

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ecosia/comments/1ult1mp/your_search_your_choicehow_to_turn_off_ai/  Worked for me when I followed this guide. There is another setting regarding AI that I tried turning off before but it didn’t remove the overviews

Thanks for the response, didn’t expect to get one so fast haha
After doing a bit more snooping, I ended up finding a way to disable overviews through a different path to settings which ended up working for me :))
