Hello Nish,
Thank you so much for this detailed post. I am a Google Workspace administrator for a personal domain, and I am experiencing the exact same issues you’ve described.
The lack of an option to delete chats is a significant problem. It feels like a fundamental feature that should be available to admins to either grant or deny to their users. For those of us not bound by strict retention policies, this limitation is frustrating and goes against the idea of user data control.
Your points about the “Archive” feature and the need for more reliable app integration are also spot on. These are crucial steps to make Gemini a truly seamless and trusted tool within the Google ecosystem.
I’ve already sent my feedback to Google Support, and I hope our combined voices will help move this issue up the priority list.
Thank you for raising this.
