Google is giving you more control over search history and personalization

• Google is adding two new settings to let you manage search history and personalized recommendations independently.
• A new “Save Media” option can save uploaded images from Google Lens, audio recordings from Search Live, and more.
• The new settings are rolling out over the coming weeks.

Google is updating how it handles saving your search history and provides personalized recommendations. The company is adding new settings to offer better control over your saved history and recommendations.

Currently, Google Search manages saving history and personalized recommendations via the Web & App Activity settings and the Search Personalization settings. However, a new Google support page states that you will soon be able to manage both those features independently through two new settings: “Search Services History” and “Personalized Recommendations.”
