Gemini Live can finally remember what you told it in past conversations

A quiet update brings chat history recall to Gemini Live, a feature text-based Gemini has had for over a year.

Talking to Gemini Live no longer means starting from a blank slate every time. Google has quietly extended memory access to Gemini‘s conversational mode, allowing it to recall details from past conversations when answering new questions.

What the update brings

9to5Google spotted the change on a Google support page, which describes Gemini Live gaining access to memory of past chats, plus information from select Connected Apps. With this change, Gemini Live can now hold onto specifics shared in earlier sessions, like dietary restrictions or important family dates, so users no longer have to repeat themselves.

The feature is rolling out in English in the US for now, with no word from Google about a wider release or support for more languages.

Closing the gap with text-based Gemini

Memory has been part of Gemini’s standard chat experience for over a year, but Live operated without it until now, creating an odd split depending on whether someone typed or spoke to the assistant. The latest update closes that gap, but one inconsistency remains.

9to5Google notes that the Personal Intelligence settings page on Android still lists momory as “coming soon” for Live, despite the feature already functioning for some users. This points to a staggered rollout, so you may not see the feature on your end just yet.

Memory is the kind of feature people only notice when it’s missing. Gemini Live had gone without it well after rivals like ChatGPT’s voice mode picked it up, and closing that gap does more for everyday usefulness than flashier additions tend to. If this update follows the same pattern as memory’s debut in standard Gemini, broader language support and wider availability should follow in the coming months.

Apple will finally stop making iPhone-to-Windows copy-paste such a chore

Your iPhone may finally copy and paste with a Windows PC like it should

Apple Universal Clipboard feature

Copying something on an iPhone and pasting it onto a Windows PC should be one of the least remarkable features imaginable. While this simple process seems effortless between an iPhone and Mac, Windows users are still left waiting.

Now, Microsoft is formally asking Apple to provide interoperable clipboard access through the company’s European Union interoperability process. The request, submitted on March 25, argues that iOS restrictions prevent third-party platforms from creating an experience comparable to Apple’s Universal Clipboard. Apple has now reached Phase III and committed to developing a solution.

Chrome wants more extension reviews, but good ratings won’t keep malware out

Google is testing built-in extension review prompts, but good ratings can still hide malware

Google is preparing to add extension review links directly inside Chrome, putting feedback closer to the menus people already use to manage their add-ons.

A Chromium change, first spotted by Windows Report, points to review options in the Extensions menu, the chrome://extensions management page, and extension context menus. Only eligible Chrome Web Store extensions in good standing would qualify, and the feature is still under development.

Passkeys were pushed as a safer future. Hackers have figured out ways to break those synced to Google

Google’s “uncopyable” passkeys may be easier to steal than promised

Passkeys have been pushed as the safer successor to passwords. It promised protection from phishing, credential reuse, and password leaks. Google even claims that it cannot be copied or accidentally handed to someone else. But it might not be as secure as the company wants it to be.

Security researchers (Via BleepingComputer) have now found three ways malware can undermine those promises for passkeys synced through Google Password Manager. The techniques, collectively named Pass-ta-key, target Google Password Manager inside Chrome on Windows computers equipped with a Trusted Platform Module. Every attack requires malware to already be running on the victim’s computer.
