Are you worried about your Google search history being tracked? With Google collecting data on every search you make, it’s important to know how to turn off your search history. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to turn off Google history on an iPhone.
First, it’s important to understand what Google History is and why you might want to turn it off. When you use the Google app or Chrome browser on your phone, all of your searches and website visits are saved in a history file. This allows Google to store and use data from these searches for personalization, advertising, and other services.
If you don’t want your search history stored, there is a way to turn it off. On an iPhone, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and tap Remove All Website Data. This will clear out all of the websites that were previously stored in your browser cache as well as any cookies that were stored by those websites.
Another way to stop Google from tracking your search activity is by turning off Web & App Activity in the Google app settings. To do this, open the Google app and tap on the “Web & App Activity” card and then select “Turn Off”. This will prevent any future searches or web visits from being saved in your account or used for personalization services.
By following these steps, you can keep control over what information is stored in your account and protect yourself from unwanted data collection by Google. Remember that turning off these features may limit some of the features available on your device so consider carefully before making any changes.
