you don’t need to do any thing else. If you like, 
you can fine -tune some settings, but Google 
Now doesn’t need any elaborate setup. 
The information you need is always at your 
fingertips.
To know when to display what information, 
Google Now uses contextual data from your 
phone and from other Google products, plus 
data from third­par ty products that you allow Google Now to access. 
For example, Google Now uses the time of 
day, your current location, and your loca ­
tion  histor y  to  show  you  what  the  traf fic  on 
your commute is like when you wake up in 
the morning. It also uses information from 
Google ser vices such as your Web Histor y for 
spor ts or flight updates, or from your synced 
calendar entries for appointment reminders.

About location access, reporting, & 
history
Location access settings determine whether 
your phone can use your current location. 
When location access is turned on, apps 
can use it to give you more relevant informa ­
tion, such as nearby restaurants or commute 
traffic. 
To turn off location access for all apps, go to 
Settings > Personal > Location access.  If you 
prefer, you can turn off location access by

Google apps while still permitting its use by non­Google apps – just go to Settings > Ac-

Location  reporting  refers your phone’s abil ­
ity to report your current location for the pur ­
pose of recording your location history.  
Location history  refers to your phone’s ability 
to store your past locations, including home 
and work. 
When you decide to use Google Now, you’ll 
star t repor ting your location and turn on your 
location histor y. Google won’t share this 
information with other users or marketers 
without your permission. 
If you opted in to location histor y in the past, 
Google Now uses your previously recorded 
locations as well as ongoing details when 
making suggestions. Turning off location 
histor y pauses the collection of location in ­
formation, but doesn’t delete your histor y. To 
manage or delete your location details, visit
