First of all, let us understand what exactly is the “My Activity” section. In simple words, “My activity” is an opt-in service provided to you on your Google account. When you use Google sites, apps, and services, all of your details related to your search are saved automatically in Google activity. Basically, ‘My Activity' is the central page where you can see everything Google has tracked about you in one place. Also, all your activities are listed as individual items, starting with the most recent.
However, you can easily view, check and manage your Google activity such as searches you've done, websites you've visited, and videos you've watched.
Here’s how to check Google activity on your phone
-
Click the “settings” app on your phone and find Google.
-
Tap the “Manage your Google account” option. If you have multiple Google accounts on your phone, select the account you want to explore.
-
Next, select "Data and Personalization" from the top of the screen.
-
Further click on the "Activity and Timeline" section for more info, followed by "My Activity".
-
You can look at a log of your recent actions, including timestamps, by clicking on "View your activity."
View activities as a bundle or individual items
Although your activities are listed as individual items on Google, these activities can also be listed as part of some bundles; Google clubs similar activities together in a group.
So, you can even change the view to your preferred setting. Tap on ‘More and three vertical dots’ and then choose from the two options: Item view or Bundle view.
You can even manage and delete your Google activity on your phone. In another scenario, it is also possible that you may want to reduce saving for most of your activities. Deleting your activity on Google will help you to limit how much data you want to allow to be collected about you on the internet.
Although Google lists your activities as individual items, they can also be listed as part of some bundles. In fact, Google groups similar activities together in a group. This enables you to customize the view to your liking. Tap on 'More and three vertical dots,' then select either Item view or Bundle view.
