On Google I/O 2019 you have sat a lot about data protectionprochen. Especially in our digital world, this is the number one topic. Now Google has released a new feature that automatically deletes your location data and web activity.
Anyone who has activated location history in their Google account will regularly receive recommendations about the places they have visited. Not only that: in most cases this is even automatically activated. For example, this has to be activated if you want to use the Google Assistant. In addition, Google Maps may move to an activated location history. With “My Timeline” you can have a map showing where you were on a particular day.
So you can have your Google location and web activities automatically deleted
You can already have your location history and other data at any time in his Google account. The new function has been available since yesterday, which one announced on the Google Blog has - you can now have it dealt with automatically. If you switch to the corresponding page in your account, you can now under "Web & App Activities" and "Manage Activities" auf dieser seite activate automatic deletion. Activities are currently saved until they are manually deleted.
Auto-delete controls for Location History start rolling out today on Android and iOS, making it even easier for you to manage your data → https://t.co/dX1uoqcR8O pic.twitter.com/Oc3fk66QNm

Recently you can find the button "Delete automatically" underneath. Here you can choose from an automatic deletion after three or 18 months. It has been announced that you can also delete the location history automatically. It doesn't seem to work yet. At least I couldn't find the setting for it yet.
In the app of the search engine giant for Android and iOS, you can make the settings after clicking on "More" and then on "Search activity" or "Search activity". In the end, this is exactly the same page as linked above, only called directly in the app.
as if a single byte would be deleted on google ... it is only hidden, otherwise it remains on the hard drive there
whoever thinks that is naive
