  • Google profile security re email address

    Posted by SoBeS33kr on March 14, 2024 at 10:28 am

    I was following the instructions in today’s newsletter about turning off sharing in Google Maps & reviews, which led me to look at my seetings for my Google profile. I discovered that your email address is visible to everyone and there is no way to make it private – when I try to do so a box comes up that says “This setting can’t be changed for your account.” This is ludicrous, and ensures I will NEVER post a review. Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Settings, not seetings!

    Hello SoBeS33kr,

    It’s the same for me, when it says “Anyone” it really means Anyone you communicate with. If you are posting a review you are communicating using your account, then and only then would your email address be public.
