Google’s ‘My Activity’ is a feature that allows you to view and manage the data that Google collects about your activity across its various services. This includes your search history, location data, voice commands, and more. With ‘My Activity,’ you can easily see what data Google has collected about you and delete any activity that you no longer want to be stored.
To access ‘My Activity,’ you first need to sign in to your Google account. If you’re not already signed in, go to www.google.com and click on the blue “Sign in” button in the top right corner of the page.
Once signed in, go to www.google.com/myactivity or search for “Google My Activity” in your web browser. You should now be on the ‘My Activity’ page, which shows you a timeline of your activity across various Google services.
The main page of ‘My Activity’ displays your activity for the current day, but you can view your activity for any date range by clicking on the calendar icon at the top of the page and selecting the desired dates. You can also filter your activity by product or type of activity by using the search bar at the top.
You can click on any item in the list to see more details about that activity, such as the website you visited or the search terms you used. If you want to delete a specific item, simply click on the menu button (three dots) on the right-hand side of the item and select “Delete.” If you want to delete a group of activities, select the checkbox next to the activities you want to delete and then click on the “Delete” button at the top of the page.
You can also use the settings menu (gear icon) in the top right corner of the page to manage your activity settings. From here, you can turn off activity tracking for certain Google services or set up automatic deletion of your activity after a certain period of time.
Additionally, you can use ‘My Activity’ to download a copy of your activity data. To do this, click on the menu button (three dots) in the top right corner of the page and select “Download.” This will generate a file containing all of your activity data that you can download to your device.
Another useful feature of ‘My Activity’ is the ability to customize your ad settings based on your activity data. Click on the menu button (three dots) in the top right corner of the page and select “Ad Settings” to access this feature. From here, you can see what information Google uses to show you personalized ads and make changes to your ad settings.
In conclusion, Google’s ‘My Activity’ is a powerful tool that allows you to view and manage the data that Google collects about your activity across its various services. With ‘My Activity,’ you can easily see what data Google has collected about you and take control of your online privacy.
