The new controls will allow you to set Google to erase its collection of location data on your every 3 months or every 18 months, depending on your preference. To do so, you’ll first visit your Google Account‘s My Activity section and tap the new “choose to delete automatically” option in the Location History area. From the screen that appears next, you can choose which time frame you prefer — 3 or 18 months. You can also opt to delete data manually — something you can do at any time. This is the default setting.
