Gemini activity settings

Your Gemini Apps Activity only includes activity from the Gemini web app gemini.google.com. When you delete your chats with Gemini for Workspace inside a Workspace app, this does not delete any information that is saved to your Gemini Apps Activity.
If you’ve used the Gemini web app with your work or school account previously and had Gemini Apps Activity turned off, your Gemini Apps Activity will be turned on. The first time you sign in after May 9, 2024, your Gemini Apps Activity will be turned on and your conversation history will be retained for 18 months.
- If Gemini Apps indicate that your history is off, refresh your web page.

Important: For work users who have access to Gemini Apps as an additional service, while Gemini Apps Activity is on, Google collects your Gemini Apps conversations and other information you provide to improve and develop Google products and services and machine-learning technologies. Learn more.
