You can force Gemini to forget about you now – how to edit its Memory

A new option called Memory summary lets you see and control the things that Gemini AI knows about you.

Like any AI, Google Gemini wants to remember things about you. The purported reason is to help tailor and personalize your conversations. But remember that your personal details may also wind up training the AI or even being reviewed by actual humans. With that in mind, you might want to find out just what Gemini knows about you. And now you can.

With a new option called Memory summary, you’re able to view the details that Gemini has gathered about you over time. These may be tidbits from your conversations or things that you directly told the AI. Even better, you can add or remove any details just by editing the memory or issuing your request directly to Gemini.

Launch Gemini via the web or in one of the mobile or desktop apps. In the left pane displaying your previous chats, select the Settings icon at the bottom. At the Settings screen, select Personal Intelligence and then click or tap Memory summary. If the option is grayed out, it means the Memory feature is turned off. To proceed, turn it back on. You can always turn if off again afterward if you wish.
