Gemini Live section now names uploads alongside transcripts as used to improve Google AI when Keep Activity is on

AI training: new or wider✓ Machine-checked

The Gemini Live section now says that transcripts and uploads shared with Gemini Live are used to improve Google services, including AI models, when Keep Activity is on. Before, that section mentioned only transcripts, although the Keep Activity section already said saved activity, including shared files, could be used to improve services. The note that these items are covered by Keep Activity and can be turned off anytime repeats an existing statement. Two settings references also changed (Web & App Activity to Search Services History, Location History to Timeline), but the texts do not show these are renames.
