2 Ways to Clear Google Search History on iPhone
One of the most commonly used features on the iPhone is for web browsing. We know that the default browser for Apple devices is Safari, but there are still many people who are used to installing Google Chrome on their iPhones. Now that search engines are smart enough, every search record you enter in the Google search app is automatically saved in the iPhone's memory, giving you suggestions based on previous searches. However, if you want to keep your browsing session private and don't want others to see what you just searched for, you'll need to clear the Google search history on your iPhone at any time.
