Recent updates to the Google app for iOS make it possible to delete all of your past browsing history, including when you last visited a site or clicked on a link. You can also clear your cache and data files for the app, but doing so will remove cached photos and videos that you have uploaded to sites like Facebook and YouTube.

This feature was first spotted back in May when an anonymous user took advantage of the tool and published a step-by-step process online. Since then, other users have found and shared their own tips and tricks for using the tool. Some even made some pretty funny jokes!

If you would like to learn how to easily remove recent searches from your iPhone, read on below! We are going to take you through the steps here very carefully.

Removing Past Browsings

The first thing we should talk about is why this is important to do. When you create an account anywhere where you can access private information, you give those websites and apps permission to retain that data.

When you browse the web via your phone’s browser software, these sites and programs have direct access to all of your past activity because of what is called a “Incognito Mode.” This means they can keep that data forever unless you actively choose to delete it.

Limit what websites you visit

Recent changes to Google’s mobile search app include the ability to limit your browsing to only sites you own or have domain-level access to. You can also block specific domains, like youtube.com, so they cannot perform an automated refresh or redirect while you are using the app.

This is helpful if you find that certain sites are leaving annoying ads or videos longer than normal, or if their flashy features distract from looking for information.

You may also want to block domains completely if they are malicious or irrelevant. For example, if someone uploads a video of them saying something funny, you might not need the additional distraction.

These settings can be found in the ‘More Settings�’ section when you launch the app.

Use a different browser

If you are determined to get rid of all of your search history, then there is an easy way to do it. Most people make use of at least two browsers when surfing the web.

The most common ones are Google Chrome and Firefox. You can simply switch out your current browser for either one of these and start using them as your main browser.

Once you have done this, it will be very hard to recover the search histories that exist in the other browser.

Use a different location

There is an easy way to do this, which is by changing your iPhone’s default search engine. You can choose one of the popular web browser apps like Chrome or Safari to be your new search tool!

If you want to completely get rid of all traces of Google from your phone, then simply download one of these browsers and use it as your device’s main interface. This will make it impossible to go back to the old search engine that has been replaced.

Change your DNS settings

If you feel that your phone is constantly searching for new search engines, it may be because of one specific site that is asking your device to do so frequently.

A quick way to test this theory is by changing your DNS (Domain Name Server) settings. This will force your phone to use another set of servers instead of the default ones it has now.

You can change your DNS Settings through an app or website. An app that does this is called “Google’s DNS Plus” which costs $1 per month. You can find this in the Google Play Store or via the link here.

Once it is installed, simply open up the app and choose to edit your account. Then, pick the name server option from under Network & WiFi. Press Save and Refresh to activate!

If this works for deleting other unwanted apps, then try disabling this plugin first before trying something else.

Use a different search engine

If you are tired of people searching for specific apps, then try changing your browser’s search engine.

Most browsers have an option to choose your preferred search engine to perform searches. You can also create separate profiles to use various engines. For example, if you no longer like Google as your search engine, you can switch over to Bing or Yahoo!

You will want to make sure that you completely delete your current search engine and install the new one, instead of just switching away from it. This is because most social media sites and websites depend on these search engines to determine what content you can see.

By deleting your old search tool, you prevent this material from being displayed. Some websites offer alternative ways to access the same information, but some do not- so be aware of this before doing anything drastic.

Limit what Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter apps you use

If you feel that your phone is constantly being monitored by these software applications, you can easily remove their permissions or switch to another app.

It is possible to limit which third-party apps have access to certain functions within Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter. By doing this, you can prevent some of the features in these apps from working, but there are ways to get around it.

If you would like to completely delete an app, you can go into Settings > Apps and then click Uninstall for each app individually.

Limit what e-mail you read

Recent trends that people have been talking about show that limiting your exposure to “kaw” (an expression used for when someone does something funny or unexpected) can help prevent suicidal thoughts and tendencies. By reducing this source of stress, it may be possible to avoid suicide altogether in those who suffer from mental health conditions like depression or anxiety.

By removing these sources of potential distress, you can also reduce the effectiveness of self-harm behaviors as a way to cope with difficult emotions.

Limiting what kind of e-mails you read is an easy first step towards protecting yourself from this harmful behavior. You should consider doing this if you are concerned about how frequently people talk about suicide on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

It is important to note that most people use internet services such as email at least once per day, so even reading one short message could contribute to causing harm.

Fortunately, there are ways to limit the amount of negative content you access via your mobile device. Here are some tips.

Quit social media entirely

If you are determined to try some alternatives, then quitting all of your current social media accounts is your best bet. Doing so will remove most of these search terms from making a return in Google as well as other major search engines like Bing and Yahoo!

By removing this content, people can still find information about you through cached web pages or videos that have been left behind. It also removes the opportunity for others to re-create lost content and spread fake stories.

Removing this content takes more effort than just deactivating an account, but it’s a better long term solution if you want to change how people perceive you.
