Google continues to develop the tools it offers to protect user privacy. The “Results about the results” tool, which was first introduced in 2022, called your personal information on the Internet and allowed you to request them to remove them. This vehicle, which received an important update in 2023, has now been updated again. Google’s latest changes include a renewed control panel and a manual update feature of the search results. In this way, users will be able to manage their own information more easily.
This update by Google is not just a visual innovation. Users will now be able to apply for the removal of search results containing personal information, and directly via Google search. It has become possible to start this process by clicking or touching the three point menu next to a search result. Previously, the process of lifting was a longer and more complex structure.
In addition, if the information about you on a website has been removed or changed, but Google search has not yet reflected this change, you can now use the option to manually update the search results. This feature helps Google to re -scan the page, reflecting the latest information. Thus, it is possible to prevent deleted or modified content from appearing in search results.
Although these innovations are useful, Google has not brought a radical change with this update. The update in 2023 offered significant innovations that allow users to remove the search results more effectively. With this update, Google was able to detect search results containing your personal information, and also allowed you to apply for the removal of sensitive content you share with your own consent.
However, thanks to the newly added features, users will now have more control. In particular, the Manual search update feature offers an important step in privacy by preventing old information in search results.
Google did not present the results of your “results about your” tool in Türkiye
Although Google’s “Results about you” tool is a useful privacy feature, it is still not accessible in all countries. This vehicle, which was available in Australia and South Africa as of May 2023, is still not active in some countries. For example, in many countries such as Türkiye, this feature is not yet supported.
Google does not officially explain in which countries this privacy tool is available. Therefore, users need to manually check whether this feature is active in their own accounts. If you want to use this tool offered by Google, you can get control by accessing the “Results about you” tab on your Google search or Google account.
