Google has updated the Gemini app to make it an even more personal, proactive and powerful assistant, while also providing users more control over the data.
The Gemini app can now reference users past chats to learn their preferences, delivering more personalized responses the more its being used. Gemini is also getting a new privacy feature called Temporary Chats, and new settings that gives more control over data.
It is also introducing a new setting that allows Gemini to learn from your past conversations over time. When this setting is on, Gemini remembers key details and preferences you’ve shared, leading to more natural and relevant conversations, as if you’re collaborating with a partner who’s already up to speed.
This feature over the coming weeks. At first, personalized conversations will be available when using Gemini 2.5 Pro model in select countries and will be expanded to the 2.5 Flash model and more countries in the weeks ahead.
This setting is on by default to help Gemini give users more relevant responses, but the user remains in control and can turn this setting on or off at any time. To do so, simply head to the Settings in the Gemini app and select “Personal context,” then ”Your past chats with Gemini”.
Temporary Chats won’t appear in your recent chats or Gemini Apps Activity and are kept in the company’s AI servers for up to 72 hours to respond to users and to process any feedback. After that, it is deleted.
As part of this ongoing expansion, Google is also updating how the content handling which users upload to Gemini, including files and photos. In the coming weeks, the “Gemini Apps Activity” setting will be renamed to “Keep Activity”.
