Cleaning up your Google Assistant activity primarily involves deleting past interactions and data. This helps manage your privacy and can improve Google Assistant's performance by removing outdated information. Here's how to do it:
Deleting Google Assistant Activity
The primary way to "clean up" Google Assistant is by deleting your past interactions. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Access your Google Account's Assistant activity page: Go to the Google Account Assistant activity page. You might be prompted to sign in to your Google Account if you haven't already.
-
Find the activity you want to delete:
- Scroll through the list to locate the specific interaction you wish to remove.
- Tip: Use the filter at the top of the page to narrow down your search by date or keyword. This makes it easier to find specific activities.
-
Delete the activity:
- Tap the "More" option (usually represented by three dots) next to the activity you want to delete.
- Select "Delete" from the menu that appears.
Additional Tips for Managing Google Assistant Data
While deleting individual activities is essential, here are a few extra things to consider:
- Review and Adjust Activity Controls: In your Google Account settings, review the "Activity controls" to manage what data Google Assistant saves. You can pause or disable certain types of activity tracking, such as web and app activity or YouTube history.
- Manage Device Information: Check the devices connected to your Google Account and ensure you recognize them. Remove any unfamiliar or unused devices.
- Voice Match and Personalization: Review your Voice Match settings. If multiple users have Voice Match enabled on the same device, ensure everyone is comfortable with the level of personalization.
By regularly deleting your Google Assistant activity and reviewing your privacy settings, you can effectively clean up your Google Assistant and manage your data.
