The Memory feature enhances the context of conversations, allowing Gemini to tailor its responses to align closely with your unique requirements.

According to Google, you can request Gemini to “remember your interests, formats, dates, key information, styles, preferences, and tone.”This offers you a wide range of options for what you want Gemini to retain. The latest updates on Gemini specify:

“You can ask Gemini to keep track of your interests and preferences, whether related to your career, hobbies, or broader life goals.”

Steps to Enable Gemini’s Memory

The process is user-friendly. Just inform Gemini regarding the specific details you would like it to remember.

In your instructions, use terms like “remember,””keep in mind that…,”or “I prefer…,”among others. You can vary your expressions based on the situation, and Gemini will adapt to capture and retain the information. For optimal results, it’s advisable to utilize straightforward language, steering clear of complex terminology.

How to Manage Gemini’s Memory

To view all the data Gemini gathers, navigate to Settings > Saved Information.

On the ‘Information You Asked Gemini to Save’ page, you can create new memories, make edits to existing ones, or delete them as needed. Additionally, you have the option to turn off the Memory feature altogether.

It’s important to note that memories do not automatically expire; they will remain stored until you decide to remove them.
