My Android Auto suddenly got switched from Google Assistant to Gemini. How worried should I be in terms of privacy?

I was driving a few days ago when the voice in my car changed. I didn't think much about it until when I tried to text someone over voice, Android Auto prompted me to let Gemini go through my contacts.

My contacts are NOT in Google at all as they're in my own Nextcloud server. and synced on my device. I also don't use the voice as much unless I need to text someone as the apps I'm using are either from F-Droid (i.e. AntennaPod), and I don't use a subscription service for my music (Tempo or Symfonium using music from my Navidrome).

As of right now, I switched back to Google Assistant, but I doubt that'll last. How worried should I be in terms of privacy? I wanna balance convenience and privacy, and right now, iPhone is most likely gonna be the solution for that.

My coworker (we'll call him Alex) is unable to view images that were uploaded by file (either by him or by the people he's corresponding to), but is able to see images that were pasted from clipboard. In addition, anyone that he's corresponding to is having the same problem, but only when corresponding with him.

This happens on Teams app in his personal & work computers (both Macs), along with the web browser (tested with Chrome, Safari & Edge) on both Mac and Linux.

The only time it works normally is on the mobile app.

I've tried:

  • revoking his session via Entra
  • full sign out and sign in
  • different profiles
  • clearing Teams cache

I'm personally stumped.

I saw this game on sale on Steam. I'm wondering what your thoughts about it, like if its a good learning tool to get started or something?
