1. Start on Google Search. Search for your full name. You may need to narrow your search (say, with your home city) to find results about you. 2. Select the menu icon. If you find a result that shows your personal contact info, tap the menu icon next to that result. 3. Select “Remove result.” This will guide you through sending a request to have the result removed from Search.
1. Start on Google App. Open the Google App on your device and click on the profile picture to open the menu. 2. Select “Results about you.” If you want to check the status of your removal requests or learn more select “Results about you” on the menu. 3. View your removal requests. Keep track of your removed requests — including those in progress or approved.
