Do you have a Google account that you rarely use? Be careful, it may be deleted due to inactivity.
In fact, the American company that offers various programs, such as a search engine and a messaging service, has a policy regarding account inactivity.
An inactive Google Account is an account that has not been used for two years. Google reserves the right to delete an inactive Google Account and its associated activity and data if you have been inactive on Google for at least two years.
Therefore, people with an inactive account may lose all the data they have saved in both Gmail and Google Drive, in particular.
However, it’s very easy to keep your account active, whether it’s sending or reading emails, watching a YouTube video, or simply using Google Search. Just log in to your account to perform an action, and that’s it.
“If you have multiple Google Accounts set up on your device, make sure you use each one within two years,” the web giant said.
This policy only applies to free personal accounts and does not apply if your account has a gift card with a cash balance.
Here are the different steps you can take to keep your Google Account active:
• Read or send an email.
• Use Google Drive.
• Watch a video on YouTube.
• Share the image.
• Download the application.
• Use Google search.
• Use Sign in with Google to sign in to a third-party app or service.
