Google is rendering it possible for Android and iOS users to auto-delete location history and activity data starting today. Although the search giant currently offered the ability to turn on or off the Location History and Web & App Activity straight from the Google Account, such as the option to manually delete the data recorded, there was one feature that makes it a lot quicker to eliminate this data.
Starting today, a new set of auto-delete controls are available in the Google app, which will enable users to manage their data convenient than before. Just choose a time limit for how long you want your activity data to be saved, and any data that’s older than that will be automatically deleted from your account.
Google claims that you’ll be able to set a time limit for how long your activity data to be saved from anywhere between 3 and 18 months, so there is that.
Based upon Google, users should start seeing the new auto-delete controls soon, and that they will come first to Location History and Web & App Activity. A much wider rollout should happen in the coming weeks, so if you do not see the new feature straight away, you will have to wait.
