The new centralized privacy settings feature helps you learn about and manage your household activity data, as well as review and adjust your privacy controls. The centralized option will appear when tapping the settings gear icon at the top of the app and you’ll be taken to a list of common home settings. The last option of the General section is now privacy and opens a new page with a prominent blue status bar.

Additionally, the Presence sensing option is only related to the current menu, but removing Saved Wi-Fi and Home Address allows you to delete with touch, although there are prompts for confirmation and explanation of what each action will do.

These settings include links that can guide you through other ways to control the privacy of your smart home, such as

• Enabling guest settings for Google’s best smart screens
• Speakers
• Deleting Google Assistant data
• Nest Sensor sensor.

Users can also access Google’s privacy policies and obligations to better understand how your data is being used. This feature will soon gradually roll out in the coming days via update.
