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

Google is adding a new temporary chat feature to its Gemini AI assistant, which allows users to have one-off conversations that won't be saved in their history, influence future chats, or be used for training. These temporary chats will be stored for up to 72 hours, giving users time to revisit or provide feedback. Alongside this feature, Google is also introducing a new setting that allows Gemini to learn from users' conversations and remember details and preferences, which it can then reference in future chats. This feature is on by default, and users will need to adjust their privacy settings if they don't want Gemini to use their past chat history. Additionally, Google is changing the name of its data-retention toggle from "Gemini Apps Activity" to "Keep Activity," but the previous setting will remain in place. The personalized conversations feature will first launch with Gemini 2.5 Pro in select countries, and then make its way to Gemini 2.5 Flash and more regions in the coming weeks.
