Google Plus is still relatively new and apparently, most of the users haven’t figured out its privacy settings like they’ve done with Facebook. That said, Google Plus settings are more transparent and simplier compared to Facebook and you don’t need to be too techie to master them. In this post, I’ll be covering the G+ essential profile privacy tips:
#1. Hide your Google Plus Profile:
Although it isn’t possible to completely hide your Google Plus profile, we’ve looked at hiding as much of your G+ profile information in this article.
#2. Hide Google Plus Circles (friends) from your Profile:
If you don’t want others to find whom your Google Plus friends are, I’d advise you to hide them from your profile by following the advice provided in this article. After hiding mutual connections, they won’t show up on your profile when others take a look.
#3. Hide Google Plus videos/Photos:
Some of us may upload personal family videos onto Google Plus which we’d want only our relatives/friends to watch. To prevent a co-worker, or your boss from peeking on them, read up our guides on hiding videos and pictures on Google Plus, as well as disabling automatic picture uploading from your smartphone.
#4. Backup your Profile with Google Takeout
As for any other online service, i would recommend to periodically download a local copy of your Google Plus account to your disk. You can do so with a nifty little tool called Google Takeout. Read our blog post regarding this to know more.
#5. Keep reading our blog.
