iPhone Users Can Now Delete Last 15 Minutes’ Search History from Google

Tech giant Google is rolling out a new privacy feature that many iPhone Users will love.

According to the post in the company’s official blog, Google is rolling out a privacy feature that allows users to instantly delete their browsing history for the last 15 minutes on their mobile devices. The company says the new tool will add additional protection to the search history stored in your Google account.

The company unveiled this new feature at its annual Google I / O Developers Conference 2021 and is now available to iOS device users. Currently, the ability to clear your search history for the last 15 minutes is only available in the Google iOS app, and will be available for Android later this year. 

However, on desktop, the options to delete the searches are limited to setting your history to auto-delete every 3, 18 or 36 months. Google says you will need to provide additional information — like your password or 2FA (that is, your two-factor authentication) — before your full history can be viewed. 

The Search Engine giant says this new feature will also track your search history to personalise your experience when you browse the web or Internet. The company also tracks the Search history only when you enable the “Web and App Activity” in the Settings. You can also view and delete the Search history any time you wish. Just go to “My Activity” in the Settings area. 

How To Delete The Search History of the Last 15 minutes

• First, you need to open the Google app on your smartphone. 
• Now click on your profile picture in the upper right corner of the screen. 
• Then select the “Delete Last 15 Minutes” option from the drop-down menu. Google will now remove the last 15 minutes of search from your account.
