Google rolls out Gemini “Memory” + “Temporary Chats

MEDIUM IMPACT announcement

Gemini can now remember key details to personalize answers, plus a 1-tap Temporary Chat mode that doesn’t save history.

What's New

Gemini adds opt-out “Memory” for persistent personalization and a Temporary Chat mode for unsaved conversations. Rollout begins on Gemini 2.5 Pro, with more August updates in the Gemini app.

Key Highlights:

  • Memory is on by default; can be disabled in settings.
  • Temporary Chats keep conversations out of history.
  • Google also shipped August “Gemini Drop” features like Storybook and Deep Think.

We’ll track regional rollout and any policy changes tied to Personal Context and Keep Activity.
