How much has AI quietly recorded about you? Google has decided to lay the books open for you. According to Android Authority on November 9, Google is rolling out a "Memory summary" feature for Gemini, letting users view, edit, and even delete personal information the AI has stored about them, handing back control over "what exactly does it know about me?" This is seen as an attempt by Google to redraw the line between personalization and privacy.
From scattered entries to a categorized ledger
In the past, Gemini's memories popped up in scattered fragments. Now the new feature will group collected content into categories such as personal background, relationships, work, interests, and preferences. You can edit each item, directly delete things you don't want it to remember, and even review a history of every change. The entry point is tucked under the "Personal Intelligence" section in Settings, then under "Memory summary"—no need to dig through long chat histories to see the full extent of what the AI has remembered for you.
Still in handcuffs and shackles for now The web version of Gemini has launched the feature and supports Simplified Chinese, and it can be found under "Personalized intelligence services." But the bar is not low: Google's support page states that at this stage it is mainly aimed at US users who are at least 18, have a Google AI subscription, and must also have English, Keep Activity, and memory features turned on. In other words, users in most regions will have to wait a while longer before they get this privacy "delete key."
