JAKARTA - Recently Google announced that it will start deleting inactive accounts for 2 years to protect users from security threats, such as spam, phishing scams, and account hijackings

Google also plans to send some warning notifications to users and clean inactive accounts in stages later.

If you feel you have multiple accounts, but are rare or even never use them, the account may be deleted within two years.

However, if you don't want the account to be deleted by Google, you can do the following ways, so that your account remains active.

How To Keep Accounts Active

The easiest way to keep Google Accounts active is to log in at least once every 2 years. If you have logged into your Google Account or one of the other Google services recently, then your account is considered active and will not be deleted.

Some activities that might help you keep your account active are as follows:

"If you have prepared a subscription via your Google Account, for example to Google One, news publication, or app, we are also considering the activities of this account and your account will not be affected. Apart from that, we currently have no plans to delete accounts with YouTube videos," Google said in its announcement.
