# How do I manage or turn off Gemini Apps Activity?



## Answers

### Answer by Connor Martin

Gemini Apps Activity is the setting that controls whether Google saves your conversations with Gemini to your account. Understanding it is the key to managing your privacy in Gemini.

When activity saving is on, your Gemini conversations are saved to your Google Account. You can revisit them, and Google may use them to improve its products and AI models, according to its privacy policy. A sample of conversations may be reviewed by trained human reviewers to improve quality, which is why Google advises not to enter confidential information.

When it is off, new conversations are not saved to your activity history and are not used to improve Google's models in the same way. Google may still keep conversations for a short period, typically up to a few days, to provide the service and process feedback. Some features that depend on history, such as personalised responses based on past chats, may not work.

To manage the setting:

1. Open the Gemini app or website.\
2. Go to Settings and find Activity or Gemini Apps Activity. Google has been renaming some of these controls, so you may also see labels such as "Keep Activity."\
3. Choose to turn activity off, or to turn it off and delete existing activity.\
4. Set an auto-delete period, such as 3, 18 or 36 months, if you want to keep history for a while.

You can also visit myactivity.google.com to view and delete individual Gemini conversations.

Gemini also offers temporary chats in some versions, which are not saved to your history or used for personalisation, useful for one-off sensitive questions.

Other related settings to check:

Connected apps. Review which Google services, such as Gmail, Drive and Calendar, Gemini can access, and disconnect any you do not use.\
Personal context. Gemini may offer personalisation based on your past chats or Google activity, which you can turn on or off.\
Location. Review whether Gemini can use your precise location.

For Google Workspace business accounts, data is handled under Workspace terms, which typically do not use your organisation's data for training, and administrators control settings.

Whatever your settings, follow the basic rule: do not share passwords, bank details, ID numbers or confidential information in AI chats. Spending a few minutes reviewing these settings once gives you much better control over your data.
