How to delete all your Google searches on desktop and mobile

NEW DELHI: Google is primarily used by millions of users around the globe for search queries. We tap on the shoulders of the search giant for tiniest of our queries, let it be for searching a place, information, opening a website or finding a food joint. It often happens that we search for several useless things on the web, which we may not want in suggestions next time we search for a similar term. For this, Google has given an easy way to clear all the searches ever made by you.

Here is how you can delete all your searches ever made on both smartphone and desktop right from one single place - My Activity.

My Activity by Google is a common tracker for all your searches across desktop and mobile, given that you are searching for those contents while logged in your Google account. It not only shows how many searches have you made using Chrome browser, but also gives you a detailed list of how many apps have you used and how many times on your Android smartphone. Regular search and image search are also shown besides other options such as what app did you search for on Google Play Store and on how many ads (that show up in search results) have you clicked on. It even shows your searches in bundles based on a website.

While you can delete several things using My Activity service by Google, today we"ll be giving you pro tips on how to delete your Google searches, by day, device, platform and even website. Below is the list.
