Request the removal of your contact information found on search results
To access this tool in the Google app, open the app and click on your Google profile picture in the upper right corner. From the menu, tap on “Results about you.” From the “Results about you” page, you can tap on the “Learn how” pill and follow the directions.
Earlier this year Google announced that it is protecting users and their families from accidentally running into explicit images on Search. With the latest update, explicit images and graphic images found on Google Search will be blurred by default although you can go into settings and disable this. The new SafeSearch blurring feature is rolling out for all users worldwide this month. You’ll be able to go into the Google app, tap the profile picture, and go to Settings > SafeSearch. From there, you can select to have the Filter on, the Blur on by default, or have SafeSearch disabled.
You can have explicit images found on Google Search blurred by default
With the Filter enabled, the setting helps filter out explicit images, text, and links. Blur will blur explicit images by default, but explicit text and links may show. And off will show you all relevant results even if explicit.
“We know it’s important to stay in control of your online experience. These new tools and updates are some of the many ways we’re continuing to make Google the safest way to Search,” the company says.
