Google Gemini Introduces Personalized Learning and Privacy Features

Google Gemini will now learn from your chats -- unless you tell it not to

As Gemini is increasingly woven into the fabric of Google, the way the chatbot accesses and interacts with your data is in a constant state of flux. Today, Google is announcing several big changes to how its AI adapts to you, giving it the ability to remember more details about your chats for improved answers. If that's a concern, Google also has a new temporary chat option that won't affect the way Gemini thinks about you. You might recall several months back when Google added a "personalization" option to the Gemini model selector. This mode leaned on your Google search history to customize responses, a feature that did not seem to appeal to many Gemini users. Google later dropped that mode, but a new attempt at customization is now rolling out. Gemini is getting an option called Personal Context. When enabled, the chatbot will remember details about your past conversations, adapting its replies without being specifically prompted. Google claims Personal Context will produce more relevant responses, particularly when you ask the chatbot to make recommendations. This is separate from the saved instructions feature, which allows you to provide explicit instructions for Gemini to be used in crafting outputs. This does have the potential to make Gemini feel more engaging, but that's not always a good thing. AI chatbots that get too friendly with the user can reinforce misconceptions and lead to delusional thinking, something we've seen distressingly often with AI models. To start, this feature will be available with the Gemini 2.5 Pro model, but you won't get customization in the Eurpean Union,the UK, or Switzerland. It's also limited to users over the age of 18. Google says it will eventually release this feature in additional regions and with support for the more efficient Gemini 2.5 Flash model. You can turn Personal Context on and off at will from the main settings page.

Gemini Is Going to Start Learning More About You. Here's How to Turn That Off

The more you chat with Google's Gemini, the better it will get to know you, thanks to a new learning feature in the generative AI chatbot, Google announced Wednesday. Gemini has already been able to recall past conversations if you ask it to, but new functionality will allow it to learn your preferences and interact with you in more personalized ways, Google said. And if you don't want an AI to learn about you, you can turn it off. AI chatbots have seen their memories grow longer this year. Other tools, like OpenAI's ChatGPT and xAI's Grok, also offer forms of memory, allowing you to refer to older conversations or save certain information for future reference. Things like your name, or what city you live in (so it doesn't give you restaurant recommendations in Denver when you live in Miami). But these memory features come with their own problems -- personalization can change the behavior and output as a large language model tries to do what it thinks you want rather than what you ask it to do. You also may not want it to save (and regurgitate) private or sensitive information. The Gemini app will default to saving information about you and learning from it. When that feature is turned on, it'll remember things you share and incorporate them into how it answers future prompts. Unlike the previous memory feature, you won't have to specifically ask it to do this; it'll do it on its own. That feature will begin rolling out Wednesday, starting with the 2.5 Pro model in select countries and expanding to 2.5 Flash in the coming weeks. Read more: AI Essentials: 29 Ways You Can Make Gen AI Work for You, According to Our Experts You can turn off the feature by going to Settings in the Gemini app and toggling off the features under "Personal context." You can also delete certain chats from its memory. If you plan to have a conversation you don't want to be saved, but you'd prefer not to turn the feature completely off, you can create a Temporary Chat. Think of it like browsing in an incognito window -- it won't be saved in the long-term memory and you won't have to hear Gemini talk about it again. You'll also be able to control whether a sample of uploads to Gemini can be used by Google to improve services. The setting currently labeled "Gemini Apps Activity" will be renamed "Keep Activity," and you can turn the setting off or use Temporary Chats to ensure your conversations won't be shared with Google.

Gemini just got two of ChatGPT's best features - and they're free

Google also added new data control settings you'll want to look at now. You can now reference your past chats with Google's Gemini AI chatbot for more personalized responses, the company said Wednesday. Google also added a Temporary Chat feature and new data control settings. Everyone, including free users, can take advantage of the features in the Gemini app. Also: You can try Gemini Live in your favorite Google apps now, and it blew me away While every major AI company is constantly racing to release the latest and greatest AI models, sometimes the most impactful updates are actually the less flashy features that improve the chatbot using experience. These new Gemini features aim to make users' lives easier in ways ChatGPT already has. Keep reading below to find out how to access the features (and if you should). AI is only as helpful as the information it is given. As a result, prompt engineering -- or creating a prompt for a chatbot that has as much specific information as possible to make it produce a higher-quality response -- is a huge part of using a chatbot successfully. However, this can often be a time-consuming process, especially if you're working on something longer-term; re-explaining your context every time can be tedious. Also: GPT-5 was meant to cut choices, but OpenAI just added multiple modes - why? Now, Gemini can reference your past conversations to learn more about you over time and produce more personalized answers. All this means is that if you shared details about your preferences or your life, Gemini can then reference those details in your future response. For example, if I disclose I have a 15-pound Yorkie in one conversation, and in another I ask what games I should play with my dog, it will already take into account his breed and weight without me having to repeat myself. It works the same way as ChatGPT's Memory feature, which rolled out in April. Anthropic's Claude also got the capability this week. The feature is being rolled out to users in the coming weeks, beginning today. Google shares that the experience is first limited to the 2.5 Pro model in select countries, and that it will expand the feature to 2.5 Flash in the weeks ahead. Also: Why Perplexity is going after Google Chrome - and yes, it's serious It is important to note that the feature is on by default, but if you don't want Gemini to remember or reference your past conversations, you can turn the setting off in your Settings. To do so, in the Gemini app, visit "Settings," "Personal context," and "Your past chats with Gemini," where you can toggle the setting on and off, as seen in the image below. Specific interactions with the chatbot can also be managed and deleted from your conversations in Gemini Apps Activity. More on that below. Temporary Chat is one of my favorite features in ChatGPT, and now it is finally available in Gemini. The feature is simple: whenever you want to have a conversation with Gemini that you don't want it to recall at a later date or be saved to your history, all you have to do is click the Temporary Chat icon next to "New chat." Also: Don't like GPT-5? You can still use GPT-4 and other legacy models in ChatGPT - here's how It is the same concept behind turning on Incognito mode in Google Chrome or Private Window in Safari. When Temporary Chat is on, your conversation won't appear in your recent chats or Gemini Apps Activity, meaning it will not be used to train Google's AI models. The downside is that it won't be used to personalize your Gemini experience (the feature listed above), but it does give you peace of mind that your conversation isn't going to be referenced. The feature is also rolling out today and will be available all users in the coming weeks. In the upcoming weeks, Google will rename the "Gemini Apps Activity" to "Keep Activity." When this setting is toggled on, a sample of your uploads, starting on September 2, will be used to "help improve Google services for everyone." If you don't want your data used that way, you can turn off the setting or use the Temporary Chats option. For instructions on how to turn the setting off, you can visit Google's step-by-step guide. If you currently have your "Gemini Apps Activity" off, even when the switch to "Keep Activity" happens, it will stay off. As a result, if privacy means a lot to you, I would recommend making the switch now.

Gemini will remember more (or less) of what you say

Google is adding a temporary chat feature to Gemini. The equivalent of a browser's incognito mode, it lets you have one-off AI chats. They won't appear in your history, influence future chats or be used for training. The temporary chats will be saved for up to 72 hours. Google says this is to give you time to revisit the chat or provide feedback. The feature begins rolling out today and will continue to do so over the coming weeks. It arrives alongside a new setting that does, well, pretty much the opposite. The Gemini app can now learn from your conversations and remember details and preferences. It may then reference them in future chats. (For example, it might recall a hobby you once mentioned when you later ask it for party theme ideas.) Google added the past chats feature to Gemini Advanced earlier this year. ChatGPT and Claude each have a similar memory option. The memory setting is on by default, so you'll want to tweak your privacy settings as soon as it arrives if you don't want to use it. In the Gemini app, head to Settings > Personal context > Your past chats with Gemini to change it. Speaking of settings, Google is changing the name of its data-retention toggle. What was once "Gemini Apps Activity" is now labeled as "Keep Activity." Despite the semantic change, your previous setting will stick, so you shouldn't need to change this one. Personalized conversations will first launch with Gemini 2.5 Pro in "select countries." It will make its way to 2.5 Flash and more regions in the weeks ahead.

Gemini's new Temporary Chats are like Chrome's Incognito mode, but for your chatbot needs

I stopped searching for new music -- YouTube Music's algorithm does it better Google Gemini is learning two new tricks -- tricks that will make former features and workarounds obsolete. Soon after Google rolled out the ability for Gemini Live to tap into integrations like Calendar, Tasks, Keep, and even Google Maps, the tech giant is now giving the AI tool the ability to generate more personalized responses. For reference, back in February this year, Gemini gained the ability to reference past conversations to give you more tailored responses. However, this required you as a user to actively prompt Gemini to recall specific information. That is no longer the case starting today. Google just gave Gemini the ability to learn more about you from your past conversations. The setting, which Google says will evolve over time, "remembers key details and preferences you've shared," will be on by default. Here are some of the examples the tech giant shared: You've previously discussed the evolution of characters' powers in your favorite comic book. Now, if you ask Gemini to brainstorm a birthday party theme that's unique to me, it might suggest a celebration based on your favorite character, complete with themed food and a custom photo booth with props. You've previously used Gemini to brainstorm ideas for a YouTube channel focused on Japanese culture. When you ask for new content ideas based on my interests, Gemini may suggest a video theme like "My First Time Trying..." where you film yourself trying a new Japanese food, a traditional craft (like origami or a tea ceremony) or even a new game from Japan. Similarly, here are some use cases I could personally think of: Let's say you've previously asked Gemini for help to keep your plants alive, sharing common issues you've faced with that Monstera of yours. Now, if you ask Gemini for advice on decorating a new apartment with plants, it might automatically suggest plants that require low maintenance. You've previously told Gemini that you're vegan and don't like dining at restaurants that serve meat, regardless of their vegan menu. Now, if you ask Gemini for restaurant recommendations in a new area, it will only highlight examples that are strictly vegan. Personal Context will be enabled by default, but users can toggle it off by heading into the app's settings. The feature has begun rolling out today. It will be widely visible "over the coming weeks." At first, the feature will only work with Gemini 2.5 Pro, with support for 2.5 Flash to come in the near future. Finally, temporary chats Have a query that you don't want Gemini to reference in your future conversations? Instead of signing out of your account or opening a new Gemini instance in an incognito tab, you can now opt to pose your query in a ChatGPT-like Temporary Chat. Said chats won't appear in your recent chats or Gemini Apps Activity, and, naturally, won't be used to personalize Gemini's responses. Gemini will retain Temporary Chats for up to 72 hours to help you with follow-up queries and "to process any feedback you choose to provide," with them likely appearing in a distinct sidebar when you initiate a new Temporary Chat. Expect Temporary Chats to be widely visible "over the coming weeks." Elsewhere, Google is now looking to use your Gemini chats to "improve Google services for everyone." As ambiguous as that may sound, it essentially means that Google will sample your future uploads and conversations, potentially to train its models. The Apps Activity section will be renamed to Keep Activity, and thankfully, turning it off will prevent Google from sampling your conversations.

Gemini Is Getting Two New Privacy Features You'll Love

You Can Still Use Your Internet Service During a Power Outage, Here's How Summary Temporary Chats in Gemini disappear after 72 hours, similar to Incognito mode. New "Keep Activity" setting in Gemini allows Google to sample chats for AI training. Privacy tweaks in Gemini offer better control over data retained by Google. The uncomfortable truth about an AI chatbot is the more it knows, the more it can help -- which is the whole point of these things existing. Of course, you may not always want your weird questions to be part of your digital record. Gemini is getting new features for this very reason. "Temporary Chats" in Google's Gemini app is exactly what it sounds like -- a chat that disappears after a certain amount of time. It's essentially Incognito Mode for Gemini. However, this is much better than using an Incognito window. You can still use the premium features of Gemini that would normally be locked away if you were signed out, like uploading files and images. Temporary Chats stick around for 72 hours just in case you have a follow-up, but after that, they're gone. You won't see them again, and they won't influence your future conversations. The next new setting is called "Keep Activity," and it's set to replace the existing "Gemini Apps activity" toggle, which was a bit confusing. Like the old toggle, this new setting will be enabled by default and will allow Google to sample some of your conversations and uploads to train its AI models. This setting is coming to Gemini next month. If you don't want your data used for this purpose, you'll need to turn it off. The good news is that if you had the old "Gemini Apps activity" setting disabled, "Keep Activity" will also be disabled by default. If you need to make the change, you can head into the Gemini app's settings, find the "Personal context" section, and toggle it off. These are nice improvements for Gemini's privacy. Everything you enter into Google -- whether it's an old-fashioned web search or a chat with Gemini -- is being recorded somewhere unless you disable it. However, chats with Gemini tend to go far beyond what you would enter in a Google Search, so the added privacy options are nice to have. Source: Google

Gemini app rolling out 'Temporary Chat' and 'personal context' that learns from past chats

Google's goal is to build a "personal, proactive, and powerful assistant," and Gemini is accomplishing that first tentpole today with "personal context." The Gemini app is also getting a Temporary Chat capability. At I/O, we introduced our vision for the Gemini app: to create an AI assistant that learns and truly understands you -- not one that just responds to your prompt in the same way that it would anyone else's prompt. When you enable personal context, Gemini will "learn from your past conversations over time" by remembering key details and preferences you're previously shared. A similar capability was previously only available for subscribers and requires them to ask Gemini to recall a previous conversation. The end result is "more natural and relevant conversations, as if you're collaborating with a partner who's already up to speed." For example: Once rolled out, there will be a new "Personal context" settings page to replace today's "Saved info" (that functionality remains available) in the account menu. The new "Your past chats with Gemini" toggle is enabled by default, but can be disabled at any time. Personal context is rolling out starting today with Gemini 2.5 Pro in "select countries" for all (free + paid) users. It will be available for 2.5 Flash and more countries (EEA, UK, Switzerland) in the "weeks ahead." In a related development, Temporary Chat lets you have a conversation with Gemini that will not influence future chats. It's like opening Google Search in an Incognito window. For example, you might be exploring private questions or simply brainstorming an idea that's outside your usual style Specifically, Temporary Chats won't appear in your history or Gemini Apps Activity, and "won't be used to personalize your Gemini experience or train Google's AI models." However, "they are kept for up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." To access, open the side drawer (which is still rolling out) and tap the new (outlined chat icon) button next to "New chat." This takes you to a thread that says "Temporary chat" instead of the greeting with privacy details. This is rolling out starting today and will be fully available in the coming weeks. Google's final announcement today is a rename of the "Gemini Apps Activity" setting to a more straightforward "Keep Activity." There's also a new setting to control whether "whether the audio, video and screens you share with Gemini through the mic button or Gemini Live are used to improve Google services for everyone." It is disabled by default.

Google Gemini just closed the gap by adding 'ChatGPT' features -- here's how they work

Google is rolling out a set of updates to Gemini aimed at making the AI assistant feel more personalized while putting stronger privacy controls in users' hands. The new features include chat personalization that allows Gemini to remember details from your past conversations (similar to ChatGPT's memory feature) and tailor its responses accordingly, a Temporary Chat mode for one-off interactions that won't affect future recommendations (also similar to ChatGPT) and updated data settings that make it easier to manage what information is stored and how it's used. Together, these changes are designed to create a more relevant, proactive experience without sacrificing user choice over data and privacy. A new Personal context setting allows Gemini to learn from your previous conversations to deliver more relevant and natural responses. With this feature enabled, the AI can use details from earlier chats, such as your hobbies, past projects, or favorite topics, to shape future suggestions without requiring you to restate them. This personalization is turned on by default and is rolling out first to the 2.5 Pro model for consumer accounts in select countries, with expansion to the 2.5 Flash model and additional regions in the coming weeks. Users can disable it at any time in the app's settings. For those who want to interact with Gemini without affecting future recommendations, Temporary Chat offers a way to start single-use conversations. These chats won't appear in recent history or Gemini Apps Activity, and won't be used to personalize the experience or train Google's AI models. They're stored for up to 72 hours to allow for responses and optional feedback. The feature starts rolling out today and will reach all users in the coming weeks. Google is also renaming its "Gemini Apps Activity" setting to Keep Activity. When enabled, a sample of future uploads, such as files or photos, can be used to improve Google services and train AI models. Users who prefer not to participate can turn the setting off or use Temporary Chats. Additionally, a new control introduced earlier this month lets people decide whether audio, video, and screen shares from the mic button or Gemini Live can be used to improve Google services. This is off by default but can be switched on at any time. These updates bring Gemini closer to Google's goal of making it a more personal, proactive and powerful assistant by allowing the AI to adapt more naturally to each user's preferences and communication style. At the same time, the introduction of Temporary Chat and the revamped data settings give users greater transparency and control over what information is stored and how it's used. The new tools are designed to support both approaches, striking a balance between personalization and user choice.

Google adds limited chat personalization to Gemini, trails Anthropic and OpenAI in memory features

Want smarter insights in your inbox? Sign up for our weekly newsletters to get only what matters to enterprise AI, data, and security leaders. Subscribe Now Google is playing catch-up against Anthropic and OpenAI as it slowly adds customization, personalization and gives users more control over what data to reference to its Gemini app. Personalization and data control in chat platforms make it easier for both individual and enterprise users to converse with the chatbot and retain preferences. This is even more important for ongoing projects in the enterprise space, as chatbots need to remember details such as company branding or voice. Google opted for a slower rollout of these features and will not allow users to edit or delete preferences, unlike its competitors. First rolling out to Gemini 2.5 Pro in select countries, Google will make "Personal Context" a default setting, allowing it to "learn from your past conversations and provide relevant and tailored responses." The company plans to expand the feature to 2.5 Flash in the next few weeks. Previous versions of the app put the burden on customers to point the model to a specific chat to source preferences, for example, by mentioning an earlier conversation. Users can still disable Personal Context at any time. Michael Siliski, senior director of Product Management for the Gemini app, said the rollout is part of plans to make the app more personalized. "At I/O, we introduced our vision for the Gemini app: to create an AI assistant that learns and truly understands you -- not one just responds to your prompt in the same way that it would anyone else's prompt," Siliski said in a blog post. Currently, Gemini apps save chats for up to 72 hours if the save activity option is toggled off and can auto-delete other activity in intervals of three, 18 or 36 months. Temporary chat and data control Other new features coming to the Gemini app are Temporary Chat and additional customer data control. Temporary Chat, a feature also introduced on ChatGPT in April last year, enables users to have one-off conversations. These chats will not influence future ones and won't be used for personalization or to train AI models. Google announced the introduction of additional data controls. The feature, which is off by default, would allow users to prevent their data from being used in future Google model training. "When this setting is on, a sample of your future uploads will be used to help improve Google services for everyone. If you prefer not to have your data used this way, you can turn this setting off or use Temporary Chats. If your Gemini Apps Activity setting is currently off, your Keep Activity setting will remain off, and you can turn it on anytime," Silisky said. Google said this is an expansion of an earlier update that allowed users to choose which audio, video and screens they can share with Gemini. Memory and chatbots Google's Gemini updates come a full year after its biggest competitors introduced similar features. ChatGPT, for example, introduced temporary chat, chat history and memory in 2024. OpenAI updated these capabilities in April of this year, and now ChatGPT can reference all past conversations. Anthropic introduced Styles in November 2024, which allows Claude users to customize how the model interacts with them. Earlier this week, Anthropic pushed an update for Claude to reference all conversations, not just ones specified by users. While Google introduced personalization to Gemini 2.0, the model was only able to reference previous conversations if prompted by the user. Memory, personalization and customization continue to be a battleground in the AI arms race as users want chat platforms to "just know" them or their brand. It provides context and eliminates the need to repeat instructions for ongoing projects.

Gemini adds Temporary Chats and new personalization features

The Gemini app can now reference your past chats to learn your preferences, delivering more personalized responses the more you use it. We're also introducing a new privacy feature called Temporary Chats, and new settings that give you more control over your data. With these updates, you can create the experience that's right for you and make the privacy choices that fit your needs. At I/O, we introduced our vision for the Gemini app: to create an AI assistant that learns and truly understands you -- not one that just responds to your prompt in the same way that it would anyone else's prompt. Today, we're 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. Here's how personal context can bring a conversation to life: We're rolling out this feature over the coming weeks, starting today. At first, personalized conversations will be available when using our 2.5 Pro model in select countries and we plan to expand the feature to our 2.5 Flash model and more countries in the weeks ahead. This setting is on by default to help Gemini give you more relevant responses, but you remain in control and can turn this setting on or off at any time. To do so, simply head to your Settings in the Gemini app and select "Personal context," then "Your past chats with Gemini." As before, you can manage and delete your conversations in Gemini Apps Activity.

Gemini Adds a Critical Privacy Feature in Big Update

We may earn a commission when you click links to retailers and purchase goods. More info. Google's Gemini is getting two major features starting today, one that will help make your prompts more private, while the other can make them more personalized going forward. Google also plans to add a way for you to share some data with to further train their models, but you can opt-out pretty easily. Gemini Temporary Chats: For privacy folks who want to still take advantage of Gemini powers, Google will start rolling out a Temporary Chat feature that works precisely as the name suggests. By choosing a Temporary Chat, you are essentially going into an incognito-like mode that won't keep your Gemini session in your recent chats and isn't used to train Gemini models. These chats will apparently only be saved for 72 hours before disappearing.. As the image below suggests, there's a dotted-dashed chat bubble in the slideout menu on the side of the Gemini app that opens these Temporary Chat sessions. In that page, the top portion will remind you of how a temporary session will work and when the data will disappear. Rollout for this starts today and will expand over the coming weeks. Gemini Personalized Responses: In potentially bigger news, Google is rolling out a setting called "Personal Context" that is on by default. While you can turn this off at any time (see below), the point of this is for Gemini to remember key details and then create more natural and relevant conversations the more you use it. It can remember more about you to then tailor responses based on history. It's a big step towards becoming a much more personal assistant. This new Personal Context feature arrives starting today and then expands over the coming weeks. To start, it works with Gemini 2.5 Pro in consumer accounts and will expand to 2.5 Flash in the "next couple of weeks." Finally, Goole is renaming the "Gemini Apps Activity" setting to "Keep Activity." With this setting on, you'll help improve Google services, like training of their AI models. For those who want nothing to do with this, you can turn it off or use Temporary Chats more frequently.
