How can I hide my phone number on Google account?
To hide your phone number on Google:
- Open your devices Settings and tap Google.
- Go to Manage your Google Account then Personal info.
- Under Choose what others see, select About me.
- Edit or remove your phone number and follow the prompts.
- Can you block certain payments from bank account?
- Is it safe to look at your bank account online?
- How do you know if your Apple ID is being used on another device?
- How do I know if someone is opening my Apple ID?
- Can I get a specific phone number in USA?
- Can I request a specific phone number if available?
Okay, so you want to keep your phone number a little more private on your Google account, huh? I totally get that! It’s kinda creepy how much info is out there these days.
Here’s how I usually do it – and honestly, it’s pretty straightforward, though it can feel like Google hides these settings sometimes, doesn’t it? ????
Basically:
-
Head to your phone’s settings. You know, the little gear icon that leads to all the phone magic. Tap that, and then look for “Google.”
-
Dive into your Google Account. Once you find “Google” in your settings, tap it! You should see “Manage your Google Account” or something similar. That’s your target. Then go to “Personal info.” I always feel like I’m entering a super-secret agent HQ when I do this, haha!
-
“About Me” is the key! Under “Choose what others see,” there should be a section called “About me.” Click on that. This is where the magic happens.
-
Edit or Remove that Number! You should find your phone number listed there. Now you can either edit it, maybe make it visible to only you (which is what I usually do), or just remove it entirely. Just follow the instructions on the screen – it’s not rocket science, thankfully.
Honestly, it’s a few clicks and you’re done. But doesn’t it feel good knowing you have a little more control over your info? I always breathe a little easier after tightening up my privacy settings. Good luck! Let me know if you get stuck – happy to help if I can.
