AI-trained Features in Gmail Current Rollout - November 2025

IMPORTANT: Gmail users have been automatically opted in—by default—to allow Gmail to access the contents of your private emails and attachments to improve and train AI-based features, such as Smart Compose and automated suggestions.

Google’s current rollout enables these settings unless users take action to disable them manually.

How to Opt Out

To ensure your emails and attachments aren’t used to train AI models, you must turn off two separate Smart Features settings in Gmail:

Turn Off Gmail, Chat, and Meet Smart Features:

Open Gmail (desktop or mobile app).

Go to Settings (gear icon) → See All Settings (desktop) or Menu → Settings (mobile).

Find “Smart Features” for Gmail, Chat, and Meet.

Uncheck this option, then Save Changes if on desktop.

Turn Off Google Workspace Smart Features

In the same Settings menu, locate “Google Workspace Smart Features.”

Click on “Manage Workspace Smart Feature Settings.

”Turn off both toggles: “Smart features in Google Workspace, and “Smart features in other Google products.

Save again.

Confirm Both Are Off

Double-check that both toggles remain off after refreshing Gmail or signing out and back in.

** Footnote: ** If you are an average user without security concerns regarding your private emails and attachments, no action is required.
