Grok Now Remembers What You Talked About, and Here’s How to Make It Stop
The chatbot’s memory is in beta and now available on Grok.com and the official iOS and Android apps.

Elon Musk’s artifical intelligence company xAI has added memory to its flagship AI known as Grok. The announcement was posted on Musk’s social media platform X on Wednesday, along with information about how the memory functions work, which is similar to other AI models. When you speak to Grok, it’ll pick up tidbits about your likes, dislikes, preferences and interests, and then use that information to tailor its responses directly to you.
Chat GPT and Google’s Gemini AI both added memory in 2024, and both can now remember conversations long-term to give you more personalized answers. In the example from xAI, the user asks Grok for a workout routine. The AI responds by mentioning that the user had previously asked about «dynamic, high-energy activities and fitness trends like jump rope and weightlifting.» Grok then makes a workout routine that incorporates those elements.
When referencing old conversations, Grok’s UI has a button that lets you see which previous conversations it references. Users can also view what Grok remembers about them and can tune that manually to make Grok forget what it learned. Grok’s new memory is available in beta on Grok.com along with the official iOS and Android apps. It is available for both free and premium Grok users.

How to turn the memory off
Despite being in beta, the feature is enabled by default, or at least it was when we tried it. The good news is that you can toggle Grok’s conversation history mode on and off at will. So, if you don’t want Grok to remember everything you tell it, here’s how to make it stop.
-
Grok.com: Tap your profile picture and then Settings. Navigate to Data Controls. The feature is «Personalize Grok with your conversation history.» Toggle it off to disable.
-
Android and iOS apps: Open the Settings, navigate to Data Controls. Here, the feature is «Personalize with memories.» Toggle it off to disable the feature.
In addition, users can toggle the private chat mode by using the ghost icon in the chatbox. Grok will not store the details of your conversation in private chat mode. While you are in the app’s Data Controls, you can also disable Grok from using your X history during conversations.
