Hello K,

We’re updating our settings to give you even more control over saved  
history and personalized recommendations across Google Search services,  
including Search, Maps, Shopping, Hotels, Flights, Translate, and News.  
You’ll see this change in your Google Account in the next few days.

What’s changing

Previously, saving history and personalization were managed by Web & App  
Activity. Going forward, we're introducing two new settings to help you  
better tailor your experience: Search Services History and Personalized  
Recommendations. These settings let you revisit your past searches and  
decide if you want your experience to be personalized. You can turn these  
settings on or off at any time. As people increasingly search in new ways,  
like searching a photo with Lens, Search Services History now includes  
media from your interactions, which you can stop saving at any time.

How this affects your account

New history and personalization settings: These new settings will reflect  
your most recent choices for Web & App Activity and Search Personalization  
settings. If these are currently on, these new settings will stay on. If  
they’re off, the new settings will be off. After the transition, Web & App  
Activity and Search services settings will be separate, and changes to one  
won’t affect the other.

Auto-delete: Your prior choice from Web & App Activity for how long your  
history is saved will also apply to Search Services History. As always, you  
can change how long history is saved, choose an auto-delete period, and  
review or delete history manually at any time.

Your media is saved when Search Services History is on: Saved media  
includes your images, files, audio and video from your interactions with  
Search services to help improve your experience. For example, this lets you  
revisit your past visual searches with Lens or continue a Search Live  
conversation about a song you heard. To support these types of interactive  
product experiences, Google will now save your media to your Search  
Services History, applying robust privacy and security protections. Like  
your Search Services History, your saved media is also used to develop and  
improve Google services and technologies, including AI models and safety  
measures. With this transition, if your Web & App Activity setting is  
currently turned on, this new Save Media subsetting will also be turned on  
along with your Search Services History. You can turn off your
