Turn off Personal results

Important: When Personal results are off, you won't get personalized predictions or recommendations based on your past searches. If you have Web & App Activity on, your Search history is saved in your Google Account and used to give you more personalized experiences in other Google services. Learn how to find & control your Web & App Activity.

If you’re signed in to your Google Account and have Personal results turned on, you might also get personalized predictions and recommendations in Google Search. If you don’t want to get these predictions and recommendations, turn off Personal results.

If you don’t want to get trending searches in the Google app, you can change your settings.

Report a prediction

While we do our best to prevent inappropriate predictions, we don’t always get it right. If you think a prediction violates one of the autocomplete policies, you can report it:

  1. On your Android phone or tablet, go to google.com or open the Google app Google Search.
  2. In the search bar, type a search.
  3. Predictions show up below the search bar. Long-press a prediction.
  4. Tap Report this.

We’ll analyze your feedback, but we don’t automatically remove reported predictions.
