Allegedly it all happens locally, but it is hard to trust a silently added proprietary blob that is designed to be used invisibly in many applications. I feel like it is a severe enough risk to be addressed on this page or as a separate wiki page. | Allegedly it all happens locally, but it is hard to trust a silently added proprietary blob that is designed to be used invisibly in many applications.

::What Links Here doesn’t work like that. It counts all links to that place with the hyperlink format. So for example, if I link to the main google article like this: [[Main Page]], checking [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Main Page|the WLH for the main page]] this will show up in that list as I linked to it (if you get what I mean).

Sorry this is my first contribution to this place and I hope you guys can give me pointers on how to convert this info into something more useful and whether it belongs here in the first place. And if it does I'll try to invite the actual victim and the person who made the vids here so that they can cooperate and add more info. Cheers!

== No account transfer == | |||
Google doesn't support "renaming" the main Gmail address of an account, it doesn't even support transferring all data between accounts. However, it does have an "export" feature. I'm not sure where in the article this should be mentioned. | |||

== Gboard requires PIN to clear learned words == | |||
Since months (years?) ago, the Gboard [[Android]] app forces the user to input an ad-hoc randomly-generated 4digit sequence to delete all learned words. Asking the user for confirmation is fine, but I find it extremely questionable that the prompt is a PIN, as if deleting that data is a life-or-death situation [[User:Rudxain|Rudxain]] ([[User talk:Rudxain|talk]]) 23:34, 3 April 2026 (UTC) | |||
