Google’s latest update to the Gemini app introduces new features that balance deep personalization with robust privacy, giving you a smarter, more intuitive assistant, on your terms.
Gemini Gets to Know You Your Way
Gemini’s new personalization setting allows the app to learn from your prior conversations, making responses more relevant and natural. Whether you’re discussing your favorite comic book heroes or seeking tailored book recommendations, Gemini can now draw on your chat history to offer suggestions that hit the mark.
- Personal context shapes Gemini’s recommendations, reflecting your unique interests and past requests.
- Currently available with Gemini 2.5 Pro in select regions, with broader availability coming soon.
- Flexible settings let you turn personalization on or off and manage or delete your chat history at any time.
Temporary Chats: Privacy for Casual and Sensitive Conversations
Sometimes, you want to ask a question or brainstorm an idea without it becoming part of your permanent digital record. The new Temporary Chats feature is built for these moments. When you initiate a Temporary Chat, your conversation:
- Is stored for up to 72 hours, solely to support ongoing dialogue or feedback.
- Does not influence future Gemini responses or appear in your recent chats.
- Is never used to train Google’s AI models, ensuring maximum privacy.
Fine-Tuned Data and Privacy Controls
Beyond chat history, Google is refining how Gemini handles your uploads, files, photos, audio, and video. The old “Gemini Apps Activity” setting has been replaced with Keep Activity, giving you granular control over whether any of your shared content can help improve Google’s services.
- Opt in or out to decide if your uploads are used for service improvements.
- Multimedia privacy is the default: audio and video shared via Gemini Live or the mic are not used for training unless you explicitly choose to participate.
- Easy access to review, manage, or delete your data through the Gemini Apps Privacy Hub keeps your privacy firmly in your hands.
A Personalized AI Without Sacrificing Privacy
These new features reflect Gemini’s mission: to provide proactive, personalized assistance while respecting your privacy at every step. Whether you want a highly tailored experience or simply a private, one-off conversation, Gemini adapts to your needs. Expect further innovations focused on transparency, control, and empowering your unique AI journey.
