Google has been making a big push to make its products more user-friendly, and one of the ways it does this is by adding date and location information to them. This way, you can easily hide that information from people who might not want to see it. To do this, you’ll need to first create a Google account and add your device(s). Once you’ve done that, go to the Google Display Settings page and click on the “Date & Time” tab. Underneath, you’ll need to set up your dates and times. Here’s an example: Now that you’ve set up your dates and times, it’s time to add your location. To do this, go back to the Google Display Settings page and click on the “Location” tab. Underneath, you’ll need to set up your location information. Here’s an example: Now that you’ve set up your location information, it’s time to add your date and time. To do this, go back to the Google Display Settings page and click on the “Date & Time” tab. Underneath, you’ll need to set up your dates and times in exactly the same way as before. Just be sure that everything is correct! Once you’re done, hit save changes! Now that everything is correct, people will only see data for when they are actually in those locations!
Google Smart Displays and Chromecasts display the dates and location information for Google Photos in Ambient Mode. If this personal information is something you don’t want everyone to be able to see, it can be hidden.
Since September 2020, showing the date, location, and other photo information for the Google Photos backdrop became the default setting. This only applies to devices that use Google Photos in Ambient Mode (the screen saver).
To hide this information, open the Google Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Tap the Smart Display or Chromecast-enabled device you want to use.
Next, tap the Gear icon at the top right to open the settings menu for that device.
Scroll down and tap “Ambient Mode.”
Under “More Settings,” find “Personal Photo Data,” and then tap “Hide.”
That’s all there is to it! You can repeat these steps for every Google Assistant-powered smart display or Chromecast that displays your Google Photo’s location, date, and time data.
