Google Gemini adds 'Memory summary' to view, edit and delete what the app remembers about you

Google is rolling out a "Memory summary" in the Gemini app that lets users "view, edit, and delete what Gemini Apps understands about you," 9to5Google reported on November 9, 2026.

Availability

Officially, the feature is available for Google AI subscribers in US English with Keep Activity and Memory enabled. 9to5Google says it is not yet seeing the rollout on Android or iOS, though the experience should be similar there.

Where to find it

On the web, the feature sits under Settings > Personal Intelligence, or at gemini.google.com/personalization-settings.

What it shows

The page loads a list of categories, each with several bullet points of specific details:

• The Essentials: a "snapshot of your core background, location, and key relationships"
• Career & Professional Projects
• Travel & Daily Gear
• Media & Entertainment
• Fitness & Lifestyle

How to edit

A text field at the bottom of the page lets users "Add or remove details" using natural-language requests. Google's examples:

• To add information: "Add to my memory that I speak Japanese."
• To remove information: "Remove my old phone number from your memory."

Google says "Gemini may ask follow-up questions if your request is ambiguous to ensure your summary remains accurate."

A pencil icon in the top-right corner allows broader edits. The three-dot overflow menu includes "Memory history," which shows "when specific information was added or modified."

Not a model release

This is a product feature in the Gemini app. No new model, context window, pricing or benchmark figures were announced with it.

What this means

Until now, the memory Gemini holds about a user has been harder to inspect directly. The Memory summary puts that information in a categorized, readable list and offers two ways to change it: conversational commands and direct editing. The Memory history view adds a record of when entries were added or modified. The current restrictions are narrow: Google AI subscribers, US English, and users with Keep Activity and Memory turned on. Users outside those conditions do not get the control yet, and mobile availability has not been confirmed.
