What does the Home History setting control?

Your Gemini for Home activity, such as voice assistant queries, saves to your Home History in My Activity. When you enable Voice Match and turn on Home History, Google stores your Gemini for Home activity in your Google Account. By default, your activity saves for 18 months. You can turn this off or change how long your activity is saved by going to Home History in My Activity. You can review your activity, delete your Gemini for Home activity, and turn off Home History at any time.

When Home History is on, Google uses your activity to develop and improve its services, including training generative artificial intelligence (AI) models. For more info about your Gemini for Home data and how you can manage it, go to the Google Home & Nest Privacy Hub.
