A Simple Guide to Viewing and Clearing Your Google Activity

If you want to easily manage your Google activity data, you can enable auto-delete for your account. This feature enables you to have your activity data automatically deleted at regular intervals, such as every 3 months, 18 months, or 36 months.

Follow these steps to enable auto-delete for your Google activity:

1. Open a browser and go to myactivity.google.com.

2. Click on “Web & App Activity”.

3. Scroll down until you find “Auto-delete”.

4. Click on “Choose an auto-delete option” to configure it. By default, it is set to “Off”.

5. A dialogue box will appear. Choose a duration: 3 months, 18 months, or 36 months.

6. Click on “Next”.

7. Click on “Confirm”.

By enabling auto-delete, Google will automatically remove activity data that is older than the specified duration. This ensures that your older data, including searches, app usage, and website visits, will be regularly deleted without you needing to take any action. Enabling this option adds an extra layer of privacy to your online activities.
