Gmail AI Training: Disable Email Access in Two Steps Now!

  • A viral warning by YouTuber Davey Jones suggests Gmail automatically opts users into AI training using private emails and attachments.
  • Users must manually disable "Smart Features" in two separate settings locations on desktop/laptop and mobile devices.
  • On desktop: Go to Settings > See all settings > Smart features, uncheck the main setting, then manage Workspace smart feature settings.
  • On mobile: Open settings from inbox > data privacy > manage Smart features and Google Workspace smart features.
  • Disabling these features will turn off AI-driven tools like Smart Compose, email categorization, spell-check, and Ask Gemini.

Why It Matters: Act now: Adjust Gmail settings to stop AI training on your emails, but some smart features will be lost.
