I have an enterprise account and they added this button today. Guess what used to be there? The profile image where you could so conveniently swipe up or down to switch between gmail accounts. This is the kind of UI garbage that makes you want to move your entire company to another service just because you can.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know how to help with that”
It gets worse. If you have “smart features and personalization” turned off for your Gmail account, which I do, you can’t even ask Gemini anything. Not even to get the inevitably wrong answer.
But this still doesn’t remove the damn button for it from the corner of your screen.
Yeah that was the first thing I checked too as I was certain I disabled it all. Hopefully Gemini goes the same path as countless other Google products
