Google Denies Gmail Reads Your Emails and Attachments to Train AI, but Here's How to Opt-Out Anyway

Google attributes user concerns to a January settings update that reset smart feature toggles, clarifying Gmail data is not used to train Gemini AI, company spokesperson said.

  • On November 21, 2025, Google denied using Gmail user content to train its Gemini 3 AI model and said it has not changed anyone's settings, rejecting viral claims as inaccurate.
  • An update rolled out in January let users toggle Smart Features separately across Google Workspace, but those toggles silently reset for some, requiring changes in two Settings menu sections.
  • Social media users claimed Gmail trains AI, prompting many to check Smart Features, which Google said personalize experiences beyond typos but do not mean data extraction.
  • Google, the company denied automatically changing permissions, but some Gmail users reported needing multiple attempts to turn off Smart Features, and guides from Dave Jones showed where to find Settings menu toggles.
  • Amid broader AI integration, attention on Gemini 3's rollout heightened scrutiny of Gmail settings as Google added AI features to Gmail earlier this year and used AI there since late 2023.
