Gemini Upgraded

According to The Verge , Gemini users will no longer have to remind the AI chatbot of what was discussed previously. Recently, the new update has allowed Gemini to automatically retain users' "important details and preferences", thereby personalizing responses in subsequent chat sessions.

This expands on a feature Google introduced last year that required users to actively ask Gemini to remember personal information. Now, the remembering process will be automatic. For example, if a Gemini user was looking for ideas for a YouTube channel about Japanese culture, the chatbot could suggest content related to Japanese cuisine when looking for new ideas.

The move comes as other AI platforms are rolling out memory features. OpenAI’s ChatGPT introduced cross-chat memory in April, but it was met with increased reports of “delusional” content. The tech giant later said it was adding measures to detect users’ emotional or mental stress.

Google spokesman Elijah Lawal told the New York Times that the company is “continuously” improving its user protections. “Our focus is on building a personal AI assistant. Gemini needs to understand your preferences, but also give you the option to control the experience, which can be turned on or off at any time,” Lawal said.

According to Google, the memo feature will be enabled by default, but users can turn it off in the “personal settings” section of the Gemini app. The update will start rolling out to the Gemini 2.5 Pro in some countries from August 14, before expanding to the Gemini 2.5 Flash.

Google is also tweaking its privacy settings. In the coming weeks, the “Gemini app activity” section will be renamed “keep activity.” When this option is enabled starting September 2, Google will be able to use samples of files and photos users upload to improve the service for everyone. If you have “Gemini app activity” turned off, the “keep activity” setting will be off by default.

Additionally, Gemini is adding a “ephemeral chat” mode. These chats are not stored in recent history, are not used for personalization or AI training, and only last for a maximum of 72 hours. Google says this is a good option for users who want to discuss private questions or avoid having information referenced in the future.
