Google recently announced a feature that allows users to delete search history for a shorter time frame. By tapping a button in the Google app, users can wipe only the last few minutes of their search history. Google, interestingly, already provides a feature that allows you to remove search history for a period of time ranging from 24 hours to all time. Aside from that, you have the option to have your search history auto-delete after 3, 18, or 36 months.
Your Google search history provides insight into your personal life, motivations, and habits. It’s a sensitive topic regardless of whatever browser you use, and you don’t want anyone to have access to your browsing history. So, here’s how you can simply delete your Google search history for the previous 15 minutes.
