Google today released an update that makes it easier for users to delete history searchs. For those who don't know the company records the search activity of logged in users and links it to their account.
Although it was possible to delete this activity, the way it was done was not very simple. Users had to open the "My Activity" page after logging in to their Google Account to delete some or all of the entries. However, the page did not have a "delete all" option.
From now on, things will be much easier, as only one click on the "Your data in Search" page is required to delete the entire search history that Google has saved in your account.
Google also added a link to the data management options on the main Google Search page, but users of the company's services can also open the following link directly:
https://myactivity.google.com/privacyadvisor/search
The management page “Your data in Search.” will open. Scroll down and you will see the option “Delete your Search activity. "
Select "Delete all Search activity" to delete the entire history or "Delete last hour”To delete the searches performed in the last 60 minutes.
Confirm that you want the records to be deleted by selecting “delete” at emerging window.
The pop-up highlights that Google may retain some data telemetrys, e.g. the number of searches by a user after the selected search activity has been deleted.
Google, on the other hand, has published a YouTube video that reports the benefits of capturing a user's search activity.
The changes are available for mobile and web searches starting today. Google plans to update apps for Android and iOS to integrate this feature. We will see the applications in the coming weeks.
