Gemini memory failure: Confidently wrong about user's phone despite extensive chat history
Salimmarvios · reddit · 2026-08-25
A user reported a critical failure in Gemini's personalization and memory. Despite having detailed conversations about a new Google Pixel 10a (guide, settings, eSIM), Gemini confidently identified the user's current phone as a Pixel 6a. The user questions if Gemini actually uses chat history for personalization. If it can't reliably determine basic context like a new device from recent history, users cannot trust it as a personal assistant. The user demands transparency on memory limitations.
