Google is rolling out Memory summary in Gemini, a page that sorts what Gemini remembers about you into categories you can edit or delete. Where to find it and who gets it.
Google started rolling out Memory summary in Gemini on November 9, 2026. It's a single page that lets you "view, edit, and delete what Gemini Apps understands about you," as 9to5Google ↗ quoted from the new screen. Android Authority ↗ and Gadgets 360 ↗ reported the rollout on November 10, and both cite Google's support documentation for the requirements.
Gemini already remembered details from past chats to personalize answers. What was missing was one place to see all of it. Before this, checking what Gemini "knew" meant digging through old conversations.
On the web, go to Settings > Personal Intelligence > Memory summary, or open gemini.google.com/personalization-settings ↗ directly.
Instead of a long list of loose facts, the page groups what Gemini remembers into categories. 9to5Google saw these:
The Essentials: a "snapshot of your core background, location, and key relationships"
Career & Professional Projects
Travel & Daily Gear
Media & Entertainment
Fitness & Lifestyle
Each category holds a few bullet points. You can change them three ways:
Type a request in the box at the bottom, such as "Add to my memory that I speak Japanese" or "Remove my old phone number from your memory." Google says Gemini "may ask follow-up questions if your request is ambiguous."
Use the pencil icon for broader edits.
Open Memory history from the three-dot menu to see "when specific information was added or modified."
| Requirement | What Google's support page lists |
|---|---|
| Region and language | US, English |
| Account | Personal Google account, age 18+ |
| Plan | Active Google AI subscription |
| Settings | Keep Activity and Memory both turned on |
Reports differ on how strict that is in practice. Android Authority found Memory summary working on the desktop website with a free account outside the US, but not in the Gemini mobile app. It could reach the page on a phone by opening gemini.google.com in the browser instead. Gadgets 360 also says it used the feature on a free account. 9to5Google didn't see it on Android or iOS yet. If the menu item isn't there for you, try the web version first.
The reaction on X split between people who found it useful and people who found it unsettling.
"Mine was insanely in-depth... and accurate. I mean, really accurate, maybe even scary accurate :)," wrote Glenn Gabe ↗.
Pop Base's post about the rollout drew more than 80,000 views and a lot of uneasy quote posts. "Imagine if youre account was hacked & they have literally all your info...wow," wrote one user ↗.
Others went straight for the delete button: "i bet google have learned far too much about me through like search and maps so i look forward to deleting it all," posted patrick ↗.
We couldn't pull Reddit threads for this story, so these reactions are from X only.
Open it, even if you don't care about personalization. A memory you can't see is a privacy risk you can't manage. This page turns Gemini's memory from a black box into a list you can audit in two minutes. Delete anything wrong, anything sensitive, and anything you wouldn't want resurfacing in a work chat. Then check Memory history every few months.
Memory controls are becoming table stakes. Meta recently pushed active memory in Muse Wonder to all users. Anthropic is working on agent memory from a different angle with Claude's dreaming feature. Gemini's version stands out for its categories and its change history, which make a long memory easier to read than a flat list.
Who should care: anyone using Gemini as their main assistant, and especially anyone who has mixed work and personal chats in one account.
