<\/span><\/h2>\nBy default, Google saves your Gemini chats to your account in a setting called Keep Activity<\/strong>. Here is how to control it:<\/p>\n\n- On gemini.google.com, open Settings & help<\/strong> and choose Activity<\/strong> (or go to myactivity.google.com\/product\/gemini).<\/li>\n
- Turn Keep Activity<\/strong> off if you don’t want chats saved to your history. Google says it still keeps conversations for up to 72 hours to run the service and process feedback.<\/li>\n
- Or leave it on and change auto-delete<\/strong>: activity is deleted after 18 months by default, and you can pick 3 months, 36 months or no auto-delete.<\/li>\n
- You can also delete single chats or all your Gemini activity from the same page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
A simple rule: don’t paste passwords, bank details, ID numbers or private medical records into any AI chat, Gemini included.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Gemini not working? Quick fixes<\/span><\/h2>\n\n- “Gemini isn’t available”:<\/strong> check your account. Under-13 personal accounts, Family Link accounts and work or school accounts without admin access are blocked.<\/li>\n
- App won’t install on Android:<\/strong> your phone may be an Android Go model or run a version older than Android 9.<\/li>\n
- No Live button:<\/strong> update the Gemini and Google apps, and make sure you are signed in. Live isn’t in the web version.<\/li>\n
- No Ask Gemini button in Chrome:<\/strong> update Chrome, sign in, leave Incognito, and check you are in a supported country. It may not have reached your account yet.<\/li>\n
- Answers seem out of date or wrong:<\/strong> ask Gemini to search the web and show sources, then check them yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Frequently asked questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/span>Is Gemini free to use?<\/span><\/h3>\nYes. The Gemini app and gemini.google.com are free with a Google account. Paid Google AI plans add higher limits, more advanced models and Gemini inside Docs, Sheets and Drive.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Can I use Gemini without signing in?<\/span><\/h3>\nPartly. Google lets you try some features at gemini.google.com without an account, but you need to sign in to save chats and use most tools.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How do I use Gemini on my phone?<\/span><\/h3>\nInstall the Gemini app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, sign in, then type, speak or add photos. Tap Live for a voice conversation.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Does Gemini save my conversations?<\/span><\/h3>\nYes, while Keep Activity is on. You can turn it off, set auto-delete to 3, 18 or 36 months, or delete chats from the Activity page.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How is Gemini different from Google Search?<\/span><\/h3>\nSearch gives you links; Gemini writes an answer, keeps the conversation going and can draft, summarize, plan and explain. For facts that matter, check the sources it gives you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
