How much has AI quietly recorded about you? Google has decided to show you the ledger. According to Android Authority on November 9, Google is introducing a "Memory Summary" feature for Gemini, allowing users to view, edit, or even delete personal information the AI has stored about them—putting the power to decide "what does it know about me?" back in their hands. This is seen as Google’s attempt to redraw the line between personalization and privacy.

From scattered entries to a ledger

Previously, Gemini’s memories surfaced in scattered fragments; now, the new feature organizes collected information into categories such as personal background, relationships, work, interests, and preferences. You can edit entries individually or delete anything you no longer want it to remember, and even review the history of all changes made. The entry point is hidden under the “Personal Intelligence” section in Settings—just tap “Memory Summary” to see everything the AI has recorded about you, without having to sift through lengthy chat logs.

Still wearing handcuffs and leg irons

The web version of Gemini has launched this feature and supports Simplified Chinese, accessible under "Personalized Intelligent Services." However, the requirements are stringent: according to Google’s support page, this feature is currently available only to U.S. users aged 18 and older who hold a Google AI subscription and have English language, Keep activity logging, and Memories enabled. In other words, most users worldwide will need to wait a bit longer to access this privacy “delete button.”
