Quick response shortcut in Signal text entry; Is Google screen-reading my Signal app? (sopuli.xyz)

I don't see a setting in Signal for quick replies, but when I tap the text box to write a message in Signal, I keep getting a "quick reply" shortcut hovering, with the app logo, "Why?", and an X to close it.

Is this a Signal feature or Android 15 reading the text and generating a potential reply? It's not my keyboard (Unexpected Keyboard) as far as I can tell, haven't seen this pop up in any other text entry field yet.

It's always safe to assume that Google doesn't actually turn off services that you tell it to turn off.

Yeah... Wish I could afford something decent and put GrapheneOS on it... though the supported devices seem to have pitiful amounts of storage, too, because why not just put everything in Google's cloud? 😑
