To turn off personal results on Google, particularly those related to your Google Assistant, you can follow a few simple steps through your Assistant settings. This process allows you to manage the personalization of information delivered by your Assistant-enabled devices.
Understanding Personal Results on Google Assistant
Personal results are the information Google Assistant provides that is tailored to you, such as details from your Google Calendar, Google Photos, or Gmail. Turning these off means your Assistant will not access or display this private information directly.
Steps to Turn Off Personal Results on Assistant-Enabled Devices
For most devices that are enabled with Google Assistant, the process is straightforward:
- Activate Google Assistant Settings: Begin by saying the command, "Hey Google, open Assistant settings." This voice command will direct you to the necessary configuration menu for your Google Assistant.
- Navigate to Personalization: Once you are in the Assistant settings, look for the section labeled "All settings." Under this section, you will find and need to tap on Personalization.
- Toggle Personal Results: Within the Personalization menu, you will see an option to "Turn on or off Personal results." Simply toggle this setting to the "off" position to disable personal results.
These steps ensure that your Google Assistant will no longer provide personalized information based on your private data, enhancing your privacy while using Assistant-enabled devices.
