Is someone reading your Gmail? Here's how to find out and secure your account against hackers and snoopers.
Since publishing this how-to article on Saturday morning, I have been getting lots of emails from readers who have asked if there are any similarly simple and straightforward tips that apply to privacy for Gmail users. Although it's easy to just shrug your shoulders and contest that anyone using Gmail, or any Google service, has already made the decision that usability and functionality trumps total privacy, that's not what I'm going to do.
Please note, however, that these are just tips to give you more control rather than some kind of magical privacy elixir: if you value privacy above all else then you may want to look at an email client that provides full end-to-end encryption instead. However, don't expect the same levels of 'out of the box' usability that Gmail delivers. The balance between privacy and usability is no different in this regard from that of security.
From 25 January 2022, these settings are set to off by default for users based in Europe. I'd still recommend everyone check them, especially if you are not in Europe but even then, to be on the safe side.
