1. The Main Switch
This is the main setting Google shows you, but it's not the only one.
Gmail (Desktop):
⚙️ Settings → See all settings → Smart features and personalization → Uncheck "Turn on smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet" → Save Changes.

2. The Hidden Switch Turning off the first setting isn't enough. Most people stop there. On the same settings page: Google Workspace smart features → Manage Workspace smart feature settings → Turn off both checkboxes → Save. Both settings need to be turned off. #Google #Email #Privacy #AI
