Clearing Browser History on Android
If you are using the Google Chrome browser on your Android device, follow these simple steps to clear your browsing history:
Step 1: Open Chrome Settings
To get started, open your Chrome browser and tap on the three dots located at the top right corner of the screen. This will open a drop-down menu.
Note: If you are using a different browser on your Android device, the steps may vary slightly. However, most browsers have similar options for clearing browsing history.

In the drop-down menu, scroll down and tap on “History.” This will take you to the History page where you can view all previously visited websites.
Step 3: Clear Browsing Data
To clear your browsing history, tap on “Clear browsing data” at the top of the screen. This will open a new window with various options for clearing different types of data.
Step 4: Select Browsing History
In the Clear Browsing Data window, make sure “Browsing history” is selected. You can also select additional items such as cached images and files or cookies if desired.
Step 5: Choose Time Range
Beneath the selected items, you will see an option to choose how far back in time you want to clear your browsing data. You can select “Last hour,” “Last 24 hours,” “Last 7 days,” or “All time” depending on your preference.
Step 6: Clear Data
Once you have selected the desired options, tap on the “Clear data” button at the bottom of the screen. A confirmation message will appear, asking if you want to clear your browsing data.
Note: Clearing your browsing history will also sign you out of any websites you are currently logged into.
