We continue to update the Gemini app so it becomes an even more personal, proactive and powerful assistant, while also providing you more control over your data. Last year, we launched a new setting for our paid subscribers, allowing the Gemini app to reference your past chats to learn your preferences, delivering more personalized responses the more you use it.

Today, we’ll start rolling out this setting to all users in Canada. When this setting is on, Gemini remembers key details and preferences you've shared, leading to more natural and relevant conversations, as if you're collaborating with a partner who's already up to speed.

This setting is on by default to help Gemini give you more relevant responses, but you remain in control and can turn this setting on or off at any time. To do so, simply head to your Settings in the Gemini app and select “Personal context,” then “Your past chats with Gemini.” As before, you can manage and delete your conversations in Gemini Apps Activity.

Here's how personal context can bring a conversation to life:

• You've previously discussed the evolution of characters’ powers in your favorite comic book. Now, if you ask Gemini to brainstorm a birthday party theme that's unique to me, it might suggest a celebration based on your favorite character, complete with themed food and a custom photo booth with props.
• You've previously used Gemini to brainstorm ideas for a YouTube channel focused on Japanese culture. When you ask for new content ideas based on my interests, Gemini may suggest a video theme like "My First Time Trying..." where you film yourself trying a new Japanese food, a traditional craft (like origami or a tea ceremony) or even a new game from Japan.

Starting today, we’re rolling out this setting across all Gemini 3 models, with full availability expanding over the coming weeks. This update is a crucial step forward, providing the necessary foundation for bringing Personal Intelligence to more users, which we aim to do in the coming months.
