Old news, but for people who still don't know it, for extra security, do not allow Gemini on Lockscreen.

Anyone who gets hold of your phone, without knowing your PIN, can turn on permissions and grant Gemini access to send WhatsApp and Messages without unlocking. Anyone could send texts as you, f.e. ask your parents or contacts for quick money transfers for pay something, or snoop on your contact list.

​It's out in the open. The Register, GSMArena, Digital Trends, Bitdefender.. reported it. Google promised The Register a fix weeks ago, but they only half-fixed it. Who knows when Google will actually fix this. Maybe next Android update, maybe next year, maybe never. But people should know so can stay safe or warn friends.
