- What it is
- Google's help page on Gemini Apps activity: the default auto-delete period, the options for changing it, and how long conversations are saved with your account when the Keep Activity setting is off.
- How much weight it carries
- Google's own help page, read on 2026-10-17 from an archived copy because the live page blocked automated access. It covers chats in general, not audio alone, and Google revises it without notice.
Facts taken from this source
- Google says the default auto-delete period for Gemini Apps activity is 18 months, and that users can change it to 3 or 36 months or turn auto-delete off.
“By default, your Gemini Apps activity older than 18 months is auto-deleted.” (Change auto-delete settings)
