Although Google was initially slow to enter the AI chatbot market, recent enhancements have positioned Gemini as a competitive alternative to ChatGPT and Bing AI. Features like image support in prompts and spoken responses, along with the recent ability to create shareable links for chats, are among the innovative updates. This guide will walk you through how to share your conversations via links on Gemini and provide all essential information regarding it.
- Start by opening a chat on Gemini and navigate to the bottom of a specific response. Click on the share icon located just before the ‘Google it’ option.
- Select Share.
- A new window will appear, providing options to customize and ‘create a public link to share’.
Currently, users can only create public links, which means anyone with the link can view it. There is not yet an option for private links, but this may change in the future. You can remove a link once you no longer wish for others to have access.
Follow the sections below for instructions on how to customize, share, or delete your links.
- You can choose to share either just a selected prompt-response or the entire chat in one link.
- This feature is useful if you wish to share multiple responses or provide context for your conversations. Use the preview window to get a sense of how it will be displayed to others.
2. Customize the Link Title
- You can either use the automatically generated title or create your own. Click the pencil icon to modify the title.
- Enter a new title.
- Alternatively, you can click Generate more to see additional title suggestions.
- Select a preferred title from the options generated.
- After selecting what to share and personalizing the title, click on Create Public Link to generate the link.
- The newly created link will be displayed. Hit the Copy icon to duplicate it.
- Feel free to paste the link anywhere you choose and share your chat with anyone you like. The link can also be directly shared across several social media platforms via the provided options.
Keep in mind that once a link is created, any alterations you make to the chat will not update the link’s content; it will reflect the chat as it was when the link was created.
- Opening the link in a browser will take you directly to the chat in Gemini.
- Anyone accessing the link can view it and additionally reshare it. To copy it for resharing, click the copy icon next to the link at the top of the page, underneath the title.
- If you’ve shared your Gemini chats and later decide to revoke access, you can delete the links. To locate your shared links, click the gear icon in the upper right corner.
- Select Your public links from the menu.
- You will see a list of shared links. To remove a specific link, click the trashcan icon adjacent to it.
- Confirm the removal by clicking Remove.
After you delete a link, anyone attempting to access it will encounter a message stating that the chat no longer exists and will be redirected to their Gemini home page. Importantly, deleting the link does not erase the chat itself; it remains available in your Recents and on your Gemini activity page.
