pretty frustrating to have an app which I'm forced to have on my device, and Google continues to turn back on permissions after I disable them. almost like they know no one wants this, but hey, Google knows best, so they'll just turn the permissions back on when you're not paying attention. allow us to uninstall this app.

Hi Corbin. Magic Cue is a privacy-first feature designed to keep your data safe. If you prefer not to use it, you're in control! You can easily manage your data sources or turn the feature off completely at any time in your settings: https://goo.gle/4quocJW. Thanks.

Get rid of this garbage! EDIT: Yes, the things this powers are also a complete waste of phone memory. I also hate magic cue! I don't want "personalized and proactive suggestions" from my phone. I wish there was a way to delete all of this. My phone says it's running out of device space. I can't delete THIS waste of space or any of the useless garbage that it's connected to.

Hi Sam, we understand the concern. The Device Intelligence app works behind the scenes to power Magic Cue. We keep it tiny to save your storage while keeping your phone smart. It's essential for the "Pixel experience," even if you never need to open it. Thanks for the feedback.

Proactive intelligence is not working on my Pixel 11 in India. I connected with the support team, but they always suggested the same steps, and these didn't work; perhaps it is only good for US customers. And yes, I cleared the data from Google which came from my Pixel 7, and yes, I enabled all the settings and permissions. And no, there is no option to make Gemini the Google Assistant, as Google is the only option (I guess they are linked).

Hi Melvin. Magic Cue is expanding, but for now, it's limited to Pixel 10 series phones, users 18+, and select languages and countries. To see if your region is on the list, please review this helpful article: https://goo.gle/4quocJW. Thanks.
