Gemini Memory summary lets you see and delete what the AI knows

A single page for everything Gemini remembers

Gemini's Memory feature lets the chatbot carry context between conversations, but until now it has been hard to tell exactly what it has stored. According to Android Authority, Google has launched a Memory summary that collects those details in one window, so users can review and adjust them without digging through old chats.

The summary can cover where you live, your interests, health details and preferences. Gemini draws on past conversations and, when Personal Intelligence and connected apps are enabled, on data from other Google services as well. The feature is available in English only, so the summary appears in English even when the original chats were in another language.

How to open your Memory summary

Memory has to be switched on before the summary will appear. On the Gemini website, users open the settings cog beside their account name and go to Personal Intelligence, then Memory summary. In the Android app, the same option sits under Settings, Personal Intelligence and Memory summary after opening the menu.

Google's support pages reportedly limit the feature to US users on a paid Google AI plan, but Android Authority found it working on the web app outside the US on a free account. A summary generated soon after Memory is enabled may be short at first and fill out as the chatbot is used.

Editing or removing stored details

There is no single delete button for individual memories. The most direct route is to edit the summary itself: select the pen icon above it, change the text and save. Alternatively, the Add or remove details box accepts a plain instruction, such as asking Gemini to forget a specific fact, and a pop-up confirms the change.

Android Authority's reporter removed a detail about owning two cats this way. Afterwards Gemini could no longer answer how many cats the person had, although it did recall that the memory had been changed. Anyone who wants to clear everything must instead switch Memory off, remove their chats and stop activity from being kept, which can be done on the Gemini Apps activity page.

Why the stored details matter

The summary can surface information users did not consciously share with the chatbot. Android Authority's reporter found email receipts pulled in through Gmail, including game purchases, and an inference about a crochet hobby drawn from a recent order that could just as easily have been a gift.

People also discuss relationships, health and other private matters with chatbots, and may not want those details retained or used to shape later answers. Because Gemini can draw on all saved chats, not just those from after Memory was enabled, old facts can go stale, such as a former job or a changed relationship status. Temporary chats avoid the problem for new conversations because Gemini does not keep data from them, and the summary now makes it possible to clean up anything already stored.
