Conclusion
Google is making multiple changes to improve user privacy controls. This includes the ability to access Google Account controls directly from Search and easier access to incognito mode in many Google apps.
The search engine giant claims that it will only “keep information only for as long as it’s useful to you.”
Now, you can now directly look up terms like “Google Privacy Checkup” and “Is my Google Account secure?” on Google Search to see a box with your privacy and security settings.
Additionally, a new Google app update will allow iOS users to turn on incognito mode quickly by long-pressing the profile picture.
