No public confirmation of Gemini chat history import features

In short: A report says Google is adding Gemini tools to import “memory” and chat history from other chatbots, but public Google sources do not confirm this as of March 26, 2026.

What happened

A story from The Verge describes two supposed new Gemini features called “Import Memory” and “Import Chat History.” The idea is simple, it would help people switch from another chatbot to Gemini without starting over.

The report says users would copy a suggested prompt (a pre-written instruction, like a form letter) into their old chatbot, then paste the results into Gemini. In plain terms, it is like packing up notes from one assistant and handing them to a new assistant.

However, a check of Google’s public information does not back up this rollout. Google’s official Gemini announcements and release notes around March 2026 focus on other updates, mainly Gemini features inside Google Workspace apps like Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. Those updates include help creating documents and slides faster, and editing them with simple requests, but they do not mention importing memory or chat history from competing tools.

Google’s release notes also mention a separate personalization feature in beta called “Personal Intelligence.” That connects Gemini with your Google services like Gmail and Photos, but it still is not described as a way to import data from other AI chatbots.

Why it matters

“Import” tools like this could affect privacy and trust, because they involve moving personal details and past conversations between services. For now, people should treat the import feature claims as unconfirmed, and check Google’s Gemini release notes for updates.
