➤ How to delete Google search history on Android, iPhone and Chrome 🕹

It's okay to want to keep your search history safe from Google. Google has been in the news section on security data for quite some time, and not always in a good way. People are learning to be wary of how data is used by Google, from disclosing its products to leaking customer data and even collecting the personal information of people using Google apps.

Even if you don't own an Android phone, you probably use three or four Google services every day, so the company knows a lot about you. The information collected may include your commute and shopping habits, even if you have used the offline service.

This privacy database does not mean that Google is trying to persecute you personally as the information is stored anonymously, but it is attached to you. The process allows advertisers to better understand demographics and determine your interests to better target ads.

If you're watching something you shouldn't, doing stuff for work, or don't want sites to mine your private information, there are ways to delete Google history stored on your devices.
