How apps work in Gemini

  • Gemini only connects to apps that are on your Apps page in Gemini settings. This includes apps that you turn on when you specify them in your prompt with an '@' mention.
  • Gemini checks for apps that can help it generate a more helpful response. If Gemini finds an app that can help, it automatically sends information from your conversation and other relevant information to that app. For example, Gemini will send your location data to Google Maps if you ask for coffee shops near you and the Google Maps app is on in your Apps page in Gemini settings.
  • Gemini won't access your personal content in other services without your permission. Some apps are designed to automatically work with Gemini Apps.
  • If you directly interact with another Google service in Gemini Apps, your activity might be saved by that other service. For example, if you watch a YouTube video in a Gemini app, YouTube may:
  • Gemini Apps can connect with third-party apps and services. When they do, Gemini Apps share information with those apps and services to fulfil your requests. That information is then used by those third-party apps and services according to their own developers' privacy policies.
  • If you disable the YouTube app, you can still talk Live about a video that you're viewing in the YouTube app.
