Gemini memory summary: see and delete what it knows
Gemini's new memory summary shows what it has learned about you. Here is where to find it, who has it, and how to edit, delete or turn memory off.
Checked and updated 11 November 2026 at 15:25 UTC
Key points
- Memory summary lives under Settings, then Personal Intelligence, in the Gemini app and at gemini.google.com.
- For now it is only for US users aged 18 or older with a paid Google AI plan, in English, on a personal account.
- You edit it by typing requests such as "Remove my old phone number from your memory", and you can turn Memory off entirely.
Gemini now has a memory summary: one page that shows what the assistant has learned about you, where you can add details, fix mistakes and delete things. You find it under Settings > Personal Intelligence > Memory summary, but for now only US users on a paid Google AI plan have it.
The feature was spotted rolling out around November 9, 2026, and Google has published a help page that describes it as a way to "view, edit, and delete what Gemini Apps understands about you."
Who can use it right now
Google's help page lists these requirements:
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Account | A personal Google account you are signed in to |
| Age | 18 or older |
| Country and plan | US users with an active Google AI plan |
| Language | English |
| Settings | Keep Activity on and Memory on |
| Where | The Gemini mobile app and gemini.google.com |
One caveat: 9to5Google and MobileSyrup both saw the page only on the web when they reported on it and had not seen it in the Android or iOS apps yet. Google's help page already gives steps for the mobile app, so if it is missing on your phone, try gemini.google.com in a browser.
How to open your memory summary
- Open the Gemini app, or go to gemini.google.com.
- Tap Menu on the left.
- In the bottom left, tap Settings, then Personal Intelligence, then Memory summary.
Shortcut: type "What do you know about me?" in any chat. On the web, 9to5Google reports the settings page also opens directly at gemini.google.com/personalization-settings.
What you will see
According to 9to5Google, the summary is sorted into sections with short bullet points under each one:
- The Essentials: core background, location and key relationships
- Career & Professional Projects
- Travel & Daily Gear
- Media & Entertainment
- Fitness & Lifestyle
How to add, fix or delete a detail
There is no form to fill in. You change the summary by typing a request on the Memory summary page:
- To add: "Add to my memory that I speak Japanese."
- To remove: "Remove my old phone number from your memory."
Google notes that Gemini may ask a follow-up question if your request is ambiguous. For bigger rewrites, 9to5Google reports a pencil icon in the top-right corner of the page.
Check when something was added
At the top right of the Memory summary page, open Memory history. It lists the changes so you can see when a specific detail was added or modified. Tap Done when you are finished.
How to stop Gemini learning about you
Go to Menu > Settings > Personal Intelligence and turn Memory off. You can turn it back on in the same place. Remember that memory summary itself needs both Memory and Keep Activity switched on.
Why it matters
Assistants that remember you give more useful answers, but a wrong "fact" (an old address, a job you left) quietly bends every reply after it. A page where you can read and correct the list is the simplest fix, and it is worth five minutes to check yours.
Two things Google's help page does not say: when memory summary will reach free users, and when it will arrive in other countries or languages.
For the model behind the app, see our explainer on Gemini 4 Carbon. If privacy is your main worry, compare on-device and cloud AI to see what leaves your phone at all. Anthropic's assistant has been getting new features this week too: here is what Claude Whiteboards, Sheets and Data do.

Frequently asked questions
How do I see what Gemini knows about me?

How do I delete something from Gemini's memory?
Open your memory summary and type a request, for example "Remove my old phone number from your memory". Gemini updates the summary and may ask a follow-up question if your request is unclear.

Google lists several requirements. You need a personal Google account, to be 18 or older, to be in the US with an active Google AI plan, to use Gemini in English, and to have both Keep Activity and Memory turned on.
