Many people around the world are very concerned about their online privacy. No one wants others to know what they are doing online, because this information may be highly personal, including research on medical conditions and so on. When users of Google products, including Android devices, smart speakers and Chrome browsers go online, their activity records will be stored on Google servers.
These activity records can be accessed through the My Activity service. In addition to saving web history, the service also stores information about the applications that users start on any day and where they checked in via maps. Essentially, a lot of information can be obtained through My Activity, which can show the exact places you often go to. In order to protect this data, Google has added an extra layer of security to ensure that only the owner can access this information.
Google said that users can now turn on additional verification to allow Google to make sure that the person doing the operation is indeed the deity before displaying or allowing the deletion of all historical information on My Activity. Its purpose is to make the historical information on the shared device more secure. At the same time, the new set of My Activity may also appear in other Google products.

The user has a radio button that requires additional verification and a radio button that does not require additional verification. If you choose to enable additional verification, the feature will require verification of the owner’s identity before exposing the history. Verification is done by taking the user to the standard Google login page, where they can enter a password or connect via an Android device (if the feature is set up).
For anyone who uses shared devices among family members or other users, being able to lock private information is a welcome addition. It can prevent someone from picking up an unlocked device, knowing where you often go and the applications you frequently use.
