How to Delete Saved Interests on Google
Google offers a variety of features that help users personalize their experience. One such feature is the ability to save interests, which allows users to receive updates and recommendations related to their favorite topics. However, there may come a time when you want to delete some of these saved interests, either due to privacy concerns or a change in your interests. In this article, we will guide you through the process of deleting saved interests on Google.
Before we dive into the steps, it’s important to note that the process may vary slightly depending on the device and operating system you are using. We will cover the steps for both desktop and mobile devices.
1. Log in to your Google account
The first step in deleting saved interests is to log in to your Google account. You can do this by visiting the Google homepage and clicking on the “Sign in” button. Enter your email address and password to log in.
2. Access the Google Interests page
Once you are logged in, navigate to the Google Interests page. You can do this by searching for “Google Interests” in the search bar or by clicking on the “Interests” link in the left-hand menu of your Google account settings.
3. View and manage your saved interests
On the Google Interests page, you will see a list of all your saved interests. You can scroll through the list to view them all. To manage a specific interest, click on the three dots (menu icon) next to the interest and select “Edit” from the dropdown menu.
4. Delete a saved interest
After selecting “Edit,” you will see a list of options for managing your interest. To delete the interest, click on the “Delete” button. A confirmation message will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion. Click “Delete” again to confirm and remove the interest from your account.
5. Repeat the process for other interests
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other interests you wish to delete. Once you have finished deleting your interests, you can exit the Google Interests page by clicking on the “Back” button or closing the tab.
6. Delete interests on mobile devices
On mobile devices, the process is quite similar. Open the Google app, tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the upper-left corner, and select “Manage your Google Account.” From there, navigate to the “Data & privacy” section, followed by “Activity & privacy,” and then “Interests.” You can then follow steps 3 and 4 to delete saved interests on your mobile device.
By following these steps, you can easily delete saved interests on Google and keep your account personalized to your current preferences. Remember that deleting interests will not affect your search history or other personal data on Google.
