At the ongoing Google I/O 2019, the company introduced a number of additional privacy and security tools to make its products and platforms safer for users.

Starting today, Google Account users will be able to easily access their privacy controls simply by clicking on their profile picture that appears on the top right corner across products. The one-tap access will soon be added to more products including Search, Maps, YouTube, and Chrome.

As the official blog explains, you can now easily manage your activity data in Search, Maps, and the Google Assistant. Similarly, auto-delete feature for web and app activity will soon be made available for location history. Additionally, Google is also bringing incognito mode to its apps for a private experience.
