How to View and Manage Gemini Memory Summary

Google rolled out Memory Summary in Gemini Apps so you can finally see the profile it builds from your chats. Instead of guessing what the assistant knows, you open one page, review categories of details, and change or remove anything you want.

This guide shows exactly how to access it on the web and in the Gemini mobile app, what you need to turn it on, and how to keep the information accurate. All steps come from Google’s official Gemini Apps Help documentation.

What Memory Summary shows you

Memory Summary collects what Gemini has learned and organizes it into readable sections. Reports from early testers list categories such as The Essentials (core background, location, and key relationships), Career & Professional Projects, Travel & Daily Gear, Media & Entertainment, and Fitness & Lifestyle. Each section contains short bullet points with specific details pulled from your past conversations.

You can also ask Gemini directly in a chat: “What do you know about me?” It returns an overview based on the same stored information.

The feature exists so responses stay relevant and accurate. You stay in control of the contents.

Requirements before you can use it

Google lists clear prerequisites. You must:

• Sign in with a personal Google Account (work, school, and supervised accounts are excluded for now).
• Be 18 or older.
• Have Keep Activity turned on (this stores your Gemini Apps Activity).
• Have Memory turned on.

For the initial rollout, Memory Summary is available to users in the United States who have an active Google AI plan (Plus, Pro, or Ultra) and who use English. It appears in the Gemini mobile app and at gemini.google.com. Availability can expand later; check your settings if the option is missing.

If Memory is off, Gemini stops learning from new chats. Existing activity remains until you delete it or auto-delete removes it.

How to view your Memory Summary

On a computer

1. Go to gemini.google.com and sign in.
2. Click Settings at the bottom left.
3. Select Personal Intelligence, then Memory summary.

In the Gemini mobile app (Android or iOS)

1. Open the Gemini app.
2. Tap the menu icon on the left.
3. Tap Settings at the bottom left.
4. Choose Personal Intelligence, then Memory summary.

The page loads your current summary. If the option is not visible, confirm Keep Activity and Memory are enabled, then refresh or check back later as the rollout continues.

How to edit or delete details

You control every entry. Google provides natural-language controls plus direct editing tools.

Add or remove information with prompts

At the bottom of the Memory Summary page (or in a chat) use plain instructions. Examples from Google’s help page:

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

Gemini may ask a follow-up question if the request is unclear. It then updates the summary.

Broader edits and history

Early reports describe a pencil icon in the top-right corner for larger changes and a three-dot menu that opens Memory history. History shows when each detail was added or modified, which helps you track what changed over time.

You can also turn Memory Summary on or off entirely from the Personal Intelligence settings. Turning it off stops new learning without immediately erasing past activity.

Tips for keeping Memory accurate and private

Review the summary periodically, especially after long or personal conversations. Correct outdated details right away so later answers stay useful.

Keep Activity must stay on for Memory to function. You can still manage auto-delete periods for Gemini Apps Activity (default is often 18 months; options include 3 or 36 months). Deleting specific chats removes the source material those chats provided.

If you connect other Google apps for Personal Intelligence, review those connections separately. Memory Summary focuses on what Gemini has learned from chats; connected apps add their own context. For related controls, see our guide on connecting apps to Gemini.

Temporary chats (where available) do not feed new memories, which is useful for one-off sensitive questions.

What happens if you turn Memory off

Turning Memory off prevents Gemini from learning from future chats. It does not automatically delete existing Gemini Apps Activity. You can still delete chats or activity manually through the activity controls. Google’s documentation notes that Memory Summary itself can be toggled independently in supported regions and plans.

Users under 18 or those without a personal account cannot access the feature under current rules.

Conclusion

Memory Summary gives you a clear view of the profile Gemini builds and simple tools to keep it correct. Open Settings → Personal Intelligence → Memory summary (or ask “What do you know about me?”), review the categories, and use plain-language prompts to add, fix, or remove details. Confirm Keep Activity and Memory are enabled, and check that your account meets the current regional and plan requirements.

As the feature expands beyond the initial US English Google AI rollout, the same controls should appear for more users. Checking the official Gemini Apps Help pages remains the best way to confirm the latest availability and steps.
