The Google app's new Quick Delete feature allows you quickly delete evidence of the searches you've performed over the last 15 minutes. As of July 2021, this feature is only available in the Google app on iPhones and iPads, but it'll be available on Androids later in the year.[1] This wikiHow will teach you how to use Quick Delete to clear your recent search history in the Google mobile app.
Steps
-
1Open the Google app. The app icon looks like a red, yellow, green, and blue "G." You can find this app on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
- As of July 2021, this feature is only available in the Google app, not in the Chrome app.
-
2Tap your profile picture. It's in the top left corner of your screen.
-
3Tap Delete last 15 min. You'll see this new option in the menu under "Search history" and above "Interests."
- If you don't see this option, the feature is not yet available for your phone or you don't have the latest Google update.[2]
