Hello Jack,
We’ve updated settings that manage personalization and activity history on
Play. You’ll have dedicated controls for personalization on Play and for
saving activity in your Google Account’s Play History, and these settings
will be easily accessible in the Google Play menu.
In the past, personalization and history on Play were managed by Web & App
Activity (WAA) settings in your Google Account. Going forward, WAA will no
longer control Play personalization and Play History. Instead, you’ll be
able to manage those settings directly on Play, and you’ll see this change
in your account in the next few days. Learn more about Play personalization
and Play History

When the transition happens for your account, your Play settings will be
based on the most recent choice you made in WAA, so your experience will
stay the same. If you have WAA turned on during the transition, which is
happening over the next few days, then your Play personalization and Play
History settings will be on, and if WAA is off, then Play personalization
and Play History will be off. As before, you’ll be able to choose how long
your activity is saved in your Play History and if you want to delete it
from Play History manually or automatically.
After the transition is complete, WAA and Play settings will be separate,
and changes to one will no longer affect the other. You can view and change
your Play privacy settings in Personalization in Play
<[link removed]> at any
time. Learn more about the transition and how it affects your settings
