Gmail frozen on iPhone 14 after disabling "Help Me Write

I finally found a way to turn off "Help Me Write" on my PC for my gmail emails. The next day, my blue envelope icon for gmail was completely frozen on my iPhone 14. I still have the Google icon but I don't like it and don't use it. Hate the format. I've tried to fix this myself with no success. I've tried "Push" and "Fetch New Date" under accounts. So irritating that one little change must have affected this email problem. The "Help Me Write" is AI which I do not want at all. It took about two hours to figure out how to turn it off and I don't want to turn it back on. Does this have something to do with Gemini?
