Smart features, such as smart compose, smart reply, or reminders in Google Assistant for things are part of the incredibly useful toolkit Google provides. Being able to toggle them on and off is not new either, but it used to be more complicated. Following user privacy and user data control trends, Google is now making the choices and toggles easier to understand and accessible to all. According to Google, “This new setting is designed to reduce the work of understanding and managing that process, in view of what we’ve learned from user experience research and regulators’ emphasis on comprehensible, actionable user choices over data.”

Though this feature likely stems from European legislation on user data, it is a nice addition to see. Knowing where data is going is essential and should be on everyone’s mind when using anything online. Google is making it easier to track your data, and hopefully, other companies will follow suit soon.
