First look: Gemini could soon remember details from your screenshots with one tap

Google is always refining how seamlessly Gemini integrates into everyday Android workflows . Currently, sharing an image or file to Gemini via the native Android share sheet opens the app with the media attached, allowing you to manually type out questions or request image edits. However, an APK teardown of the Google Gemini app (v1.0.95) reveals that Google may be developing a much smarter one-tap shortcut designed to feed your AI assistant’s long-term memory.

The new addition will likely build on the existing shortcut, where tapping the small dropdown arrow next to the Gemini icon will reveal a second “Remember this with Gemini” option alongside the regular one. This new shortcut only shows up when you’re sharing an image; it doesn’t appear for other file types like PDFs or documents.

Tap it, and the Gemini overlay will open with your image attached and the text box pre-filled with “@Remember this image.” Hit send, and Gemini will scan the picture, pull out anything worth remembering, and store it for later, no extra typing required.

We tested this with a boarding pass. After sharing a screenshot via the new shortcut, Gemini confirmed it had captured the airline, flight number, route, passenger name, travel date, and seat. In a completely separate chat afterward, we asked Gemini what flight we’d asked it to remember, and it recalled every detail correctly, right down to the seat number.

While you can already upload photos manually and ask Gemini to remember something by typing it out manually, what’s new here is how much friction the share sheet integration could remove. Instead of opening Gemini, attaching an image, and typing out a request, you could easily trigger the whole thing in two taps from whatever app you’re already in.

We suspect this ties into Gemini’s memory and personalization settings, which likely need to be switched on for the shortcut to work at all. It also lines up with Google’s broader push toward Personal Intelligence , which can surface memories like this across other Google apps and even other devices, similar to how Magic Cue works on Pixel phones.
