Google is building a place to see what Gemini remembers about you
A hidden 'Remembered items' screen would let Gemini users view and manage what they asked the assistant to keep, though it does not work yet.
The short version
- The section is called 'Remembered items' and sits inside Gemini's Personal Intelligence settings.
- Android Authority found it by inspecting version 17.70.10.sa.arm64 of the Google app.
- It would list text and images Gemini kept because the user asked it to.
- In the tested build the screen was blank and showed errors, so it is not switched on.
Why it matters
AI assistants are only useful with memory, but memory raises a fair question: what exactly do they know about me? A single screen to review and clean up saved items would make that visible. Since the feature is unfinished, treat it as a direction, not a launch.
What Google appears to be building
Google is adding a section called "Remembered items" to Gemini, its AI assistant. As ExtremeTech reported, it would give people one place to see and manage what they have asked Gemini to retain.
The find comes from Android Authority, which dug into version 17.70.10.sa.arm64 of the Google app. The section sits within Gemini's Personal Intelligence settings.
How it would work
Once opened, the screen would show the text and images Gemini kept from earlier chats because the user asked it to. Users could also organize those items.
Android Authority thinks there may be a text box too, where you could add or remove saved information using simple prompts. That is a guess based on what it saw, not something Google has confirmed.
Not the same as what Gemini already does
Gemini can already save personal facts and preferences across conversations. The new section would be narrower. It would focus on things you explicitly told Gemini to save, not the broader picture it builds up over many chats.
That distinction matters. "Remember this" is a choice you made, while patterns an assistant picks up on its own are harder to see.
Still unfinished
In the build Android Authority tested, the screen was blank and threw errors. That suggests Google has not turned on the system behind it, and details could change before any release.
ExtremeTech also questioned why Google would make the items searchable instead of showing short summaries, perhaps as bullet points. It is a small design choice, but it shows how much is still undecided.
What to watch
- Does Google switch the feature on, and does it work as the leaked screens suggest?
- Will users be able to add and remove items with simple prompts?
- Will the final version show saved items as a searchable list or as summaries?
Try it
Open the settings of the AI assistant you use most and look for a memory or saved-information option. Delete anything you would not want it to keep.
