As you may already be aware, every Android phone has a system settings app that enables you to control every aspect of your device. Google Settings has a different settings app, though, that is important to consider.
Anyone who use Google's apps and services frequently should download the Google Settings app. What, though, does the Google Settings app do? And perhaps more importantly, where can I find some intriguing hidden locations?
The Function of Google Settings
You can change your Google Account settings using the pre-installed system programme Google Settings. The ability to easily access your Google Account settings from your phone is advantageous. As a result, using it won't require you to download a third-party software or sign into a third-party website.
You may limit how much data your Android phone or tablet shares with the Google ecosystem using the Google Settings app. Keep in mind that Google is continuously monitoring you, and that you can influence it in certain ways by doing this.
How to Find Hidden Settings on Android
To access the secret settings, use Android 8.0 or later and adhere to following step-by-step instructions:
Open the Settings app by default on your phone.
Click Google as you scroll down.

Now you have access to a wide range of options and can change the settings to suit your requirements. For a better user experience, you can modify some features and programmes using only the Google Settings app. Checking out the list, let's see what we can locate.
Your Google Account Management
Account, Services, and Developer are the three sub-sections of Google Settings. Tap on Manage your Google Account to make changes to your account's settings.

You have access to all the choices you need to modify your Google Account in the Account area. You can change passwords, manage your account settings, and other things.
The Data and privacy option also allows you to view your data, activities, and other privacy settings. Go to the Security tab if you also wish to use the settings and suggestions there to help keep your account secure.
Above all, in the same section, you can check your current payment options, transactions, recurring payments, and reservations.
Change Google Services
Click the desired service under Services on this device by scrolling down. Numerous practical controls for managing how your Android device communicates with your Google account may be found in the Services section.
Here are a few helpful services that you might want to try out once.
1. Manage the Ads You See
Have you ever wondered how adverts that are relevant to you appear on apps? Google creates a special advertising ID for you each time you conduct a search or view a video on YouTube. Your advertising ID is used by advertisers to determine which items are relevant to you or items you have previously searched for.
It's simple to decide whether Google follows you everywhere and shows you ads tailored to your tastes or only displays anonymous ads.
On this device, tap Ads under Services to disable interest-based advertising. You won't be able to view interest-based advertisements because this will delete your advertising ID.
If you are seeing advertisements that don't match your interests and tastes, you should use this setting.
2. Verify which applications are connected to your Google Account.
Whenever you install a third-party app from the Play Store, you could see a Sign In With Google button. In general, it's not advised to sign into third-party apps with your Google account, yet we frequently do it because it's so simple. Over time, many apps receive your Google login information.
Go to Google Settings > Settings for Google applications > Connected apps to see which apps or services are connected to your Google Account.

The best aspect is that from the same panel, you can always revoke access. Simply tap Disconnect after choosing the app or service name to accomplish this.
3. Recover Using Google One Google One simplifies the process of moving data between Android devices. Your contacts, call history, device settings, app data, and even message data can all be automatically backed up.
Go to Google Settings > Backup and turn on the Backup by Google One option to access this fantastic function.

The good news is that even while it's locked, your phone is being backed up. Please be aware that all of your past backups will be permanently erased from your cloud storage if you decide to disable the option in the future.
Find My Device 4.
Finding the location of your Android phone is now simpler than ever. If location services are enabled on your Android smartphone, you may use Google's Find My Device website as a Google phone tracker to determine where your phone is at any given time.
