How to Delete the Search History From Your Google Account
Clearing your Google search history doesn’t mean Google actually deletes your search data. Google still keeps records about how and when you use certain features, even when you delete the details of your activity. However, you can remove it so prying eyes in your life don’t see it. Delete your search history by following these steps:
Clear Google Search History From Your Chrome Web Browser on a Computer
If Google Chrome is your main web browser, you can clear your Google Search history from within the browser.
Clear Google History from Your Chrome Web Browser on Android
If you mainly use Google Chrome from your Android, you can clear your search history from within the browser.
Clear Google Search History From Your Chrome Web Browser on iOS
If you use Google Chrome on an iPhone or iPad, you can clear your search history from within the browser.
Clear Individual Items
Sometimes there are items in your history that you want to keep for a while or specific items you want to remove. To clear individual search items, follow these steps:
Clear Google Search History From the Google App on Android and iOS
If you use the official Android Google app for all your searches, clear your search history from the app by going to More > Search activity and then using the steps listed above to delete your activity.
Set up Auto-Delete to Clear Google Search History
You can use Google’s auto-delete controls to clear your search history, along with web and app activity, using a web browser or the Google mobile app. Here’s how. To view your Google Search history, open Google Chrome and select the three-dot menu > History, or press Ctrl+H.
