Google is introducing a host of new features for user convenience and engagement, the newest being the auto delete for locations and web history, and ‘PoemPortrait’.
If you have been manually wiping off traces of your whereabouts on the internet or in real life, then Google’s new tool makes it easier as it automates the process with its new auto-delete controls for location history and ‘Web and App’ activity to make data management easier.
Simply choose a time limit for your activity data, from three months to 18 months, and any older than that will be automatically deleted on an ongoing basis. The feature will be rolled out to the masses in the coming weeks.

Google has also added ‘PoemPortrait’ with the help of a new AI that uses your selfie and combines it with your choice of words to create your unique portrait, overlaid with poetry.
The online collective artwork is a combination of poetry, design, and machine learning. As Google explained in its blog, starting today, you can create your own custom portrait with poetry.
To create original selfie-poem artwork, users have to donate a word on the official page and take a selfie. Each word is then expanded into original lines of poetry by an algorithm that has been trained using nineteenth-century poetry.
The AI then provides a unique PoemPortrait of the face, illuminated by the original lines of poetry. All the lines are then combined to form an ever-evolving, collective poem.
