With this new update coming into effect, you can now manage your Google search history without needing to bring your “Search” to a halt. From a user’s perspective, the change seems to be more straightforward. For instance, you can quickly glance through your recent activity and delete the last hour’s search activity or wipe out the entire browsing data. Plus, you will also be able to fine-tune your privacy and activity controls more conveniently. Sticky note: The process of deleting the browsing data that includes the terms you search for, links you interact with, your device’s current location when you search the web, etc., is pretty much the same on iOS, Android, and the web. So, it doesn’t matter which device you are rocking; you will be able to get it done with ease.
How do I clear my Google Search History on iPhone, iPad, Android and Computer
Step #1. First off, head over to google.com on your mobile device or computer. Ensure that you are signed into your account. Step #2. Now, tap on the menu button. Note: On your computer, click on Settings at the bottom right corner. Step #3. Next, tap on Your Data in Search. Step #4. Next up, you can check your most recent activity. Under Delete your Search activity section, you have two options:
Delete last hour: It will let you remove the browsing history of the last hourDelete all Search activity: It will clean up your entire search history
Hit any of the two options as per your need and then confirm. That’s pretty much it! On this very screen, you can find out more about how activity data makes search work, prevent Google from saving a recording of your voice and audio input, pause your web and app activity and more. A Well-Thought-Out Implementation I find this new implementation well thought out as it offers more control to users and allows them to manage their search data with ease. Hence, there seems to be more clarity on both the sides of the fence. As we are talking about security and privacy, I would suggest you enable two-step verification for your Google account, if you haven’t already.
