Im not sure when the update came out but I’ve had two forced updates in the past 3-4 months for my Pixel 6. Im assuming thats when it changed. I am very meticulous about checking settings after updates but It looks like this was only online settings for your google account, not local to the phone, which is probably how I missed it.
Funny how I turned off any data sharing for google years ago but the inclusion of gemini somehow voids my previous decision.
Did you download this, or was it an automatic update?
Some people have said it was an automatic update, and it then changed their settings
