How to quickly remove your personal info from Google Search results: Step-by-step guide
Personal information can end up online in many places, and bad actors often seek such data to commit fraud, impersonation, or cause harm. Google Search is one common place where personal details appear, making it important to understand how to manage and remove this data from search results. While Google cannot control what appears on other websites, it provides tools to help remove your personal information from its search listings. Here is how you can do it. First, you need to know if your information appears in Google search results. Google offers a tool called the Results About You activity page. To use it, log into your Google account and provide your contact details, such as phone numbers and emails. Then, choose how you want to receive notifications, via email or the Google app. Also read: Google renames Find My Device to Find Hub: What's new, and why Android trackers still need work After a short wait, Google will send a report listing search results that include your personal data. You can also revisit this page anytime to check new results. The page lets you select specific results you want Google to remove and shows the progress of your removal requests. Starting in 2025, Google added an option for quick removal requests directly from the search results page on both mobile and desktop browsers. When you find a result with your personal information, click the three-dot menu beside it and select 'Remove result.' You will then need to explain why you want it removed.

If you have already removed personal info from a website you control, but it still appears in Google results, you may need to request to remove cached or outdated pages. You can submit up to 1,000 URLs at once using Google's removal form. Similarly, outdated images on Google Images can be removed by submitting the image URLs. After submitting a removal request, Google sends a confirmation email. If you don't receive it, submit the request again. Google reviews your request, may ask for additional information, and will notify you once it takes action. Mobile finder: iPhone 16 LATEST price, specs and all details

Google Rebrands ‘Find My Device' to ‘Find Hub' but Android Tracker Issues Still Persist
Google has officially rebranded its 'Find My Device' app as 'Find Hub', markinga shift in how the tech giant wants users to view its tracking service. The newname better reflects the app's broader scope, which now goes well beyond justlocating misplaced phones and tablets. However, while this update brings in new features and a more inclusive identity, Android users are still grappling withthe limitations of third-party tracking devices, especially when compared to Apple's AirTags. Originally, Google's tracking app was limited to helping users find their Android smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets linked to a Google account. Over time, features such as location sharing and support for third-party Bluetooth trackers were added. As a result, the old name no longer did justice to theapp's full functionality. The rebranding to 'Find Hub' signifies its evolution into a central tool for tracking both people and personal items. The Android Tracker Problem Despite the platform's enhancements, many Android-compatible trackers continue to underperform. Although Google has reportedly improved the responsiveness of its tracking network, with some claims suggesting it is now four times faster than at launch, users continue to experience frustrating reliability issues. Forinstance, one Reddit user shared that their tracker failed to ping for over 24hours while left inside a car. Another common complaint is poor Bluetooth connectivity, such as with the Pebblebee Card, which is designed to help locate wallets but often fails to alert or connect when needed. Frominconsistent pairing modes to unreliable location updates, these issues are widespread. Users frequently encounter difficulties when trying to rely ontrackers during real-world situations, a stark contrast to the seamless experience often reported with Apple's AirTags. What's Newin the Find Hub App? To addresssome of these shortcomings, Find Hub now supports ultra-wideband (UWB) — atechnology that allows for more precise location tracking. Starting later thismonth, Android users can locate Moto Tags from Motorola using UWB. Lookingahead, Google plans to introduce satellite connectivity by 2025, which couldallow users to track items even without mobile or Wi-Fi signals. Additionally, devicetracking and location sharing are now separated in the app, offering betterprivacy and easier management. Google isalso collaborating with brands like Mokobara, July, and Peak to improve baggageand gear tracking, and with airlines such as Singapore Airlines and BritishAirways to enhance luggage updates. While FindHub's rebranding and new capabilities show progress, the reliability ofAndroid-compatible trackers remains a key concern — one that many users hopeGoogle and its partners can soon resolve.
