Asking your AI assistant “what do you remember about me?” is a clumsy way to audit your own data. Yet that’s how Gemini users have had to do it. Google appears to be done with that workaround.
According to Android Headlines, which cited a teardown by Android Authority, version 17.70.10.sa.arm64 of the Google app contains two unreleased features. One is a Remembered Items section. The other is a multi-select tool for deleting chats. Neither is live, and the memory screen currently throws an error when you tap it, so the backend is clearly unfinished.
What Remembered Items actually does
The new screen sits inside Personal Intelligence settings. It lists the text and images you explicitly told Gemini to save, and lets you add or remove entries. A text box at the bottom handles manual input.
There’s a distinction here worth understanding. Gemini also picks up general facts from past chats on its own. Remembered Items covers only what you asked it to store. So this is not a full view of everything the model infers about you. It’s a partial window, and that matters if transparency is the goal.
Bulk delete finally shows up
The second feature is simpler. Right now you delete Gemini chats one at a time. The test build adds a multi-select mode in the chat drawer, so you can tick 10 or 20 threads and remove them in one tap.
This is basic housekeeping, and it’s overdue. Anyone who uses an assistant for throwaway questions ends up with a cluttered sidebar fast.
How it compares
OpenAI has offered a memory management panel in ChatGPT for a while, where you can view and delete saved memories individually or wipe them all. Claude also exposes memory controls in its settings. Google is catching up, not leading.
But the timing makes sense. Gemini’s Personal Intelligence pitch depends on users trusting it with personal context. Memory without visible controls is a hard sell, especially in Europe, where regulators pay attention to what AI products retain.
Does it matter?
Modestly. These are not headline features, and Google hasn’t announced a release date. Test code can change or vanish. Still, the direction is right. If Google wants people to hand Gemini their calendars, photos, and habits, it needs to show them what’s stored and let them delete it fast.
The real test is whether the final version covers inferred memories too. If it only lists what you manually saved, privacy-minded users will still be guessing. Watch for that when this ships.
