On August 13, 2025, Google announced the introduction of a new feature for the Gemini AI app: “Temporary Chat,” an AI chat function that automatically deletes conversations after 72 hours. Following this announcement, the feature began a staged rollout on the web, Android, and iOS versions of the Gemini app starting in late August 2025.

Previously, “Temporary Chat” was accessed via the “💬 (Temporary Chat)” icon in the Gemini app’s sidebar, effectively giving it the status of a sub-feature. However, it appears that the feature has finally been promoted to a main-screen priority. The “💬 (Temporary Chat)” icon has been moved to the top of the main Gemini app screen, making it easier to access than ever before.

The promotion of the “💬 (Temporary Chat)” icon in the Gemini app is being rolled out in stages across different platforms and Google apps. It has not yet been widely released to all users.
