Gemini adds third-party MCP connectors with warnings, and temporary chats for AI-improvement opt-out
The Gemini Apps notice now mentions third-party Connected Apps such as custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and warns that Google does not monitor or secure them. It adds a mention of temporary chats, which are not used to improve Google AI with human reviewers, and restates how saved instructions are used. It also clarifies that Google still uses chats to respond and for protection even with temporary chats.
