Google will discontinue its dark web report feature, which alerted users if their personal information appeared on the dark web. Scanning will end on January 15, 2026, and all collected data will be deleted by February 16. Launched in 2023 for Google One subscribers and expanded in 2024, the feature was retired due to limited actionable guidance. Google advises users to use “Results about you,” Security Checkup, and other tools to protect their data online.
