Google recently announced a game-changing update to its "Results about you" tool, making it significantly easier for users to remove their personal information, such as phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses, from search results.

This move comes as privacy concerns continue to rise, with individuals increasingly seeking control over their online presence.

Previously, the "Results about you" feature was buried within Google's settings, making it difficult for many users to find and utilise.

Now, the search engine giant has streamlined the process in a tutorial video, allowing users to initiate removal requests directly from Google Search.
