How to Tell Google What To Do With Your Data When You Die – Set The Inactive Account Manager

Making a plan for your email (and your Google Drive, Google Pay, and Photos accounts) is super simple to do and can be part of that plan you handle today, both to help your friends or family out when that time comes and help prevent your accounts from winding up being accessed in a way you don’t want.

You can decide to have your account self-destruct if it goes inactive for a certain period of time. Three months is the minimum, but the options scale up from there to six months, twelve months, and eighteen months. Before that self-destruct happens there’ll be some SMS notifications letting you know in case you’re not dead.

It’s a pity the minimum is 3 months as I like the way If I Die did there’s – you set it up and if all the people you nominate notify you are dead, and you have not responded, it triggers immediately.

No matter how old or healthy you are, having a death plan, even a rough one, is a pretty solid idea. The people you leave behind are going to have to figure out what to do with your pets, your stuff, and even your Gmail account.
