Google is rolling out a new Memory summary for Gemini, according to 9to5Google. The feature gives users a single page where they can view, edit and delete the personal information that Gemini Apps has learned about them.

The summary is organised into themed groups. One covers core background, location and key relationships, while others gather details about work and projects, travel and everyday equipment, entertainment tastes, and fitness or lifestyle habits. Each group contains bullet points with specific saved details.

How to find and change it

On the web, the summary lives in Settings under Personal Intelligence, or can be opened directly through a personalisation settings page on the Gemini site.

A text field at the bottom lets people add or remove details by typing a request, such as adding that they speak a language or removing an old phone number. Google says Gemini may ask follow-up questions if a request is unclear, so the summary stays accurate.

A pencil icon in the top-right corner allows broader edits. A three-dot menu also opens a Memory history view that shows when specific information was added or changed.

Why it matters

AI assistants that remember personal details are useful, but they also raise questions about control and transparency. A central summary makes it easier to check what has been stored and to correct or delete anything that is wrong or outdated.

The Memory history view adds a further layer of accountability by showing when each piece of information was added or modified. That could help users spot details they did not intend to share.
