Use this interactive demo to learn how to disable the Gemini feature in your Gmail account.

‍

It is very easy to disable Gemini in Gmail. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it in simple steps:

‍

On your Gmail's main dashboard, head over to the top-right corner and click 'Settings'.
After that, click 'See All Settings' to proceed.
Under the General tab, scroll down to the Google Workspace Smart Features section and click 'Manage Workspace Smart Feature Settings' below it.
Switch off the toggle button next to Smart Features in Google Workspace.
Subsequently, click 'Save' to apply the changes.
After completing these steps, Gemini will be disabled in your Gmail account. Some features will not be activated on your end, such as viewing events from your Gmail to Google Calendar, creating drafts, and the like.

📌 Why this matters

Disabling Gemini gives you complete control over your email privacy and prevents Google from analyzing your messages to suggest calendar events, draft responses, or surface related content. Beyond privacy concerns, this becomes crucial when handling sensitive business communications or confidential information that you don't want processed by AI systems.

Many organizations require employees to disable these features to comply with data protection policies, and some users simply prefer a cleaner, distraction-free email experience without automated suggestions interrupting their workflow.
