Google’s Results About You can scan Search for your phone, email and home address

Google’s Results About You tool lets people monitor whether personal information such as phone numbers, email addresses and home addresses appears in Google Search results, with an option to request removal if matches are found. Android Authority reports Google also added scanning for ID and Social Security numbers in some regions. The feature can be set up in the Google app on Android by opening Results about you, entering a name and optional nickname, adding the information to monitor, and saving. Android Authority says Google’s first scan finished within six hours in one test and found no results, while ongoing scans continue afterward. The publication also notes it uses the feature alongside Google Password Manager’s dark web monitoring and Have I Been Pwned alerts.
