Google accounts lying inactive will be deleted soon, the company is reminding users to send mail; Secure like this

If you use Gmail then there is good news for you. Google has sent an email to billions of its users this week reminding them of changes to their 'Google Account inactivity policy'. Google is updating the Google Account inactive period for all its products and services to two years.

This change has started to take effect. Google has been shutting down such accounts forever who have not used the account for 2 years. Notably, a deleted account's Gmail address cannot be reused when creating a new Google Account.

Google account lying inactive for years is being deleted only for the privacy and security of the user. Actually, the inactivity of the Google account shows that the user does not need the account. In such a situation, the account will be removed only by sending multiple notifications to the user, so that there is no threat to the user's information from cyber hackers.

Google has also kept its point clear regarding the inactive account. According to the new update from the company, only those Google accounts which have not been used for 2 years or more will be deleted. In such a situation, if you have not used platforms like Gmail, Play Store, Photos, or Google Drive for some reason by creating a Google account, then this decision will also affect your account.

The simplest way to keep your Google Account active is to sign in to your account at least once every two years. If you've recently signed in to your Google Account within the last two years, your account is considered active and won't be deleted.
