Gemini Memory Summary: See and Edit What Gemini Knows

Person using an AI assistant on a smartphone at home, illustrating the Gemini memory summary

The more you chat with an AI assistant, the more it can remember about you. Until now, checking what Gemini had actually saved meant guessing or digging through old chats. The new Gemini memory summary changes that: it shows what Gemini understands about you and lets you fix or delete it.

Google began rolling the feature out on November 9, 2026, according to 9to5Google. Here is what it does, how to find it, and how to use it well. Note the catch up front: Google says it is currently for US users with an active Google AI plan, so check whether it has reached you.

What is the Gemini memory summary?

Google's help page, View & manage your memory summary in Gemini Apps, says you can use it to "view, edit, and delete what Gemini Apps understands about you." The aim, Google says, is to keep Gemini's answers accurate and relevant for you.

According to 9to5Google's report, Google Gemini rolling out 'Memory summary' with everything it remembers about you, the summary is grouped into categories such as The Essentials (a snapshot of your background, location and key relationships), Career & Professional Projects, Travel & Daily Gear, Media & Entertainment, and Fitness & Lifestyle. Each category lists specific details.

How to find your Gemini memory summary

Google's help page gives these steps:

On a computer: go to gemini.google.com, click Settings at the bottom left, then Personal Intelligence, then Memory summary.

In the Gemini mobile app: tap Menu, then Settings, then Personal Intelligence, then Memory summary.

Shortcut: ask Gemini, "What do you know about me?" Google says this also shows your memory summary.

How to edit or delete what Gemini remembers

You change the summary by typing a request to Gemini. Google's examples:

To add something: "Add to my memory that I speak Japanese."

To remove something: "Remove my old phone number from your memory."

Per Google, Gemini may ask follow-up questions if your request is unclear, so the summary stays accurate. 9to5Google also reports a pencil icon for broader edits and a "Memory history" option in the menu that shows when information was added or changed.

What you need to use it

Google's help page lists the requirements: a personal Google account (not a work or school one), age 18 or older, Keep Activity on, and Memory turned on. For now, Google says memory summary is available to US users with an active Google AI plan, in English, in the Gemini mobile app and at gemini.google.com.

Android Authority's report, Gemini Memory summary rolls out with editing controls, says its testers saw it work on a free account outside the US on the desktop website, and on a phone's browser, but not in the mobile app. That is one outlet's experience, not something Google has promised, so don't count on it.

A quick memory clean-up routine

A short review is worth doing whenever an AI assistant gets a memory feature. A simple routine:

Read it once, top to bottom. Look for anything outdated, wrong or more personal than you expected.

Fix errors first. Wrong details lead to wrong suggestions, so correct them with a plain request.

Remove what you don't want stored. Ask Gemini to delete the detail, then check the Memory history to confirm.

Decide if memory should stay on. Google's help page says you can turn Memory off in Personal Intelligence settings, which stops Gemini from learning about you from your chats.

Check Connected Apps too. Google's separate help page, Connect your Google apps to personalize your Gemini experience, explains that to remove something Gemini learned from a connected app you must both delete the chats containing it and disconnect the app.

Why it matters

AI assistants are becoming more personal, and personalization only works well when the stored details are correct. A visible, editable summary turns "what does it think it knows?" from a mystery into a settings page. The takeaway applies beyond Gemini: whenever an assistant offers memory, find where it lives, read it, and prune it.

Your turn

Would you rather an AI assistant remember details about you, or start fresh every chat? Tell us in the comments.

Cross-Platform Media Streaming Apps: 5 Picks That Follow You From Phone to TV

Image
My laptop runs one system, my phone runs another, and the TV seems to have a mind of its own. For a long time, watching something meant remembering which app lived on which device, and half the time the answer was "not this one." So I went looking for cross-platform media streaming apps that would simply follow me from screen to screen. This list is the result of that trial and error: five apps, each the best at one particular job. It is not a ranking — the right pick depends on how you watch. One thing before we start, because honesty matters more than a clean list: I built one of these. OnTiv, the first entry below, is my own project. I have tried to judge it by the same standard as the rest, and I have kept the claims to things you can check yourself in about two minutes. Where another app genuinely does something better, I say so. What I look for in cross-platform media streaming apps My criteria are simple. The app has to run on the devices I already own, without...

Travel Booking Data Is Being Used Against You: How to Spot a Scam That Knows Your Itinerary

Image
A scam email used to be easy to spot: wrong name, vague details, bad grammar. That is changing. Breaches at airline booking systems mean criminals can now send emails that quote a traveller's real name, real flight and real confirmation number. Here is what has been reported and the habits that keep you safe. A Breach Behind the Booking On October 31, 2026, Malaysia Airlines published a notice about a cybersecurity incident involving Amadeus, its third-party reservation technology provider. The airline said the incident "may have affected certain customer information processed through Amadeus between August 2023 and September 2026." It also said its own IT systems were not compromised and that there is "currently no evidence that financial information has been accessed."

Fake Software Download Traps: What Cracked Installers Do

Image
You search for a free copy of a pricey app, click a polished download button, and run the installer. Nothing seems wrong. But a fake software download can quietly install extra programs that use your internet connection and computer power to make money for someone else. That is the picture Microsoft Threat Intelligence painted in research published on November 3, 2026. The details are technical, but the lessons are plain enough for anyone who installs software. What Microsoft found Microsoft describes an evolving campaign aimed at people searching for cracked commercial software, free games, activators, plugins and unofficial utilities. The lures it listed include cracked audio plugins, PC games, Roblox executors, auto-clickers, driver tools and fake utility installers. The download pages can look professional. Microsoft's write-up shows an example "auto clicker" page with product screenshots, feature descriptions and repeated gold download buttons. Run the file and...
