When you search on Google with Web & App Activity enabled, your activities, such as your search history, are stored in your Google Account. Google uses your stored activity across its services to provide more personalized experiences, such as app and content recommendations.

Regularly deleting your Google search history is an excellent way to protect your online privacy and security. Doing this allows you to keep your data safe from hackers and avoid receiving personalized content and app offers.

Furthermore, deleting History and personal data is one of the last essential steps if you want to use a new browser. Fortunately, it is straightforward to clear Google Search on all devices. This article will teach you how to delete Google searches on your computer and phone.
