Google has now started rolling out a bunch of new privacy features that would help you stay more secure and keep your privacy intact as well. The new privacy features include a revamped Results about you feature that will now give you a notification. Although the company has been working on these features for some time now, they have started becoming better.
Google has made it much easier for users to track if their information shows up in Search results, along with a host of other features
For instance, the Results about you feature that started rolling out last year will now offer you a list-based dashboard. The dashboard will show you all the web results that might have your contact information displayed on it. If you want, you can file a request for removal. In addition to that, Google has also decided to roll out a simple but much-needed notification feature that would send notifications every time new results from the web that have your information would show up in the Search. Once that happens, you can go ahead and file a request for removal.
The update is now rolling out to all platforms, including iOS and Android, and if you want to access the feature, you have to tap your picture on the top right corner and look for "Results about you" in the menu. Alternatively, you can head over to this link. Sadly, the feature is only available in U.S. English but will be rolling out soon in different languages and regions.
Moving further, the SafeSearch feature is now rolling out to everyone around the world. The feature will be available later this month, where it will simply blur out any explicit imagery by default. So you do not have to worry about your children or underage kids running into such issues. Speaking of images, Google will now let users remove any personal or explicit images that they don't want to show up on Search. The company has made sure that it is a lot simpler to remove these images. Here is how the company explains it.
For example, if you created and uploaded explicit content to a website, then deleted it, you can request its removal from Search if it’s being published elsewhere without approval. This policy doesn’t apply to content you are currently commercializing.
Last but not least, Google Search is getting a new shortcut that will help you get access to all queries related to parental controls. This will help you have much easier access to all the information you need.
