Google Funeral – Plan Your Google Account After Your Death

April 19, 2013
Zainil Dedhia

Oh my god! What happens to my Google account after my death? Have you ever thought about this? Isn’t it a bit fascinating to know about the whereabouts that are likely to happen to your Google account?

Your assets reach your successors or dear ones. Likewise you would be able to allow the Google accounts to be inherited. You get to decide what should happen to your digital assets when you don’t use it for long or let’s call it your death. Your inactivity might be treated as death in the digital world, as there is probably no feature discovered yet to trace out if you are breathing in this world at the other end. What’s the new feature that helps this situation?

Inactive Account Manager – Secure Google Account After Death

It’s true that this feature might seem silly to many out there. This amazing technological possibility reaches you by the name Inactive Account Manager, which would be available on your Google page. You may avail this from the Account settings page without having any trouble. This way you are enabled of choices of your digital assets as well after death or inactivity. This would be helpful when you could no longer use the account or if in the worst case, you totally forget your account password.

Settings of the feature – Protect Google Account After Death

You could simply allot the inactive data for your Google account; the complete data on your profile would be deleted after that chosen period if desired. You have options like three, six or even 12 months to choose for inactivity period. There is another option to assign some trusted contacts or family members of your choice to avail your Google account data; you could fix this for any of the services like +1s, Google Voice, Contacts and circles, Gmail, Drive, Google+ profiles, Picasa Web albums, Pages and streams, Blogger and YouTube or for all of these as desired. The flexible nature of selection makes this managing feature of Google dear to many out there.

    Although seems weird but after some serious thinking, this could well be one of the most useful features of Google. Family photos, videos and contacts could be passed on from generations to generations. I think that’s a brilliant idea!

    Well this is interesting. If other social networks have this too then that would decrease any other potential awkward moments
