Set the duration of time Google should wait after detecting that you’ve been entirely offline. The default is three months of inactivity, but you may set it to up to 18 months. According to on Google, one month before your account expires, it will send emails and text messages to remind you that it’s time to sign in again.
After nine months of inactivity, Google deleted Gmail accounts.
You may also create a Gmail AutoReply with a custom subject and message informing friends or followers that you’ve closed your account. If Google decides to delete all of your data, it has the option to do so.
For example, Google may have closed the account for breaching one or more of the following items under its Gmail Terms of Use: User Content and Conduct Policy; or Google Terms of Service.
Google will close inactive Gmail IDs in 2021, according to the company. Google announced that it would offer free limitless storage to its Photos app users in June 2021. The firm will remove inactive Gmail accounts in the same time frame next year.
