The feature, available in English in the US, enables tailored responses by recalling user preferences and details across sessions. This brings Gemini Live closer to feature parity with the main chat experience.", "body_md": "Following the big [Neural Expressive redesign](https://9to5google.com/2026/05/19/gemini-app-google-io-2026/) and [new voices](https://9to5google.com/2026/05/27/new-gemini-live-voices/) last month, Google has updated Gemini Live with Memory access.\n\nAt I/O 2026, Gemini Live was more deeply integrated into the chat experience to allow for quick switching between voice and text conversations. Expanded Connected Apps access allows Live to call upon YouTube, Utilities, Workspace, image generation, and more during conversations. (We’re still waiting for Google Messages access.)\n\nGemini Live can now “use memories of your past chats and info from some Connected Apps.” This was added to the [support page](https://support.google.com/gemini/answer/15274899#zippy=%2Cchoose-which-connected-apps-are-connected-to-gemini%2Clet-gemini-use-the-memory-of-past-gemini-chats) sometime after I/O, with Google explaining that “Gemini Live follows the same permissions that you choose when you chat with Gemini.”\n\nIn our testing, Gemini Live successfully referenced previous chat conversations. This results in “helpful, tailored responses” and is currently available in English in the US.\n\nGemini’s [about page](https://gemini.google/overview/gemini-live/#:~:text=things%20I%20share%3F-,Yes,-.%20Gemini%20Live%20is) adds that Gemini Live can “securely remember key details you mention across different sessions, like dietary preferences, important family dates, or your favorite hobbies, so you don’t have to keep repeating yourself during future chats.”\n\nThat said, the Personal Intelligence settings page on Android still says that Memory is “coming soon to Live.”\n\nThis capability helps Gemini Live achieve feature parity with the main chat experience.\n\n*FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.* [More.](https://9to5mac.com/about/#affiliate)\n\n[our homepage](http://9to5google.com/)for all the latest news, and follow 9to5Google on\n\n[exclusive stories](https://9to5google.com/feature/exclusive/),\n\n[reviews](https://9to5google.com/guides/reviews/),\n\n[how-tos](https://9to5google.com/guides/how-to/), and\n\n[subscribe to our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/9to5google)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gemini-live-can-now-access-your-past-chats-memory-connected-apps-info", "canonical_source": "https://9to5google.com/2026/06/18/gemini-live-memory/", "published_at": "2026-06-18 21:50:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-18 22:09:49.549714+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["large-language-models", "ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-agents", "natural-language-processing"], "entities": ["Google", "Gemini Live", "YouTube", "Workspace", "Gemini"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gemini-live-can-now-access-your-past-chats-memory-connected-apps-info", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gemini-live-can-now-access-your-past-chats-memory-connected-apps-info.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gemini-live-can-now-access-your-past-chats-memory-connected-apps-info.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gemini-live-can-now-access-your-past-chats-memory-connected-apps-info.jsonld"}}
