How to Delete Google Assistant Chat Activity from Allo and your Google Account

Google Assistant Activity Data

While Google Assistant is future of messaging apps, there is no doubt that it’s just another service from Google that actively collects data about you. It collects the kind of data that might even tell when you’re happy, sad, nostalgic, etc. This might seem pretty dangerous at first, and it indeed is, but it’s nothing different than WhatsApp sharing your personal chat data with Facebook.

But unlike Facebook, Google is at-least transparent about the data it collects and let’s you download and delete it at your will.

Google Assistant and Allo both collects basic information such as your phone number, name, photo (if available) and group chat information when you register yourself on Allo. Other data is collected based on the permissions you give to Allo and Google Assistant.
