To delete history tabs from other devices, you need to clear your browsing data, which will affect all devices synced to your Google Account.
Clearing Browsing Data to Delete History Tabs
Here's how you can clear your browsing data, which includes open tabs, on all synced devices:
- Access Browsing Data Settings: Open your browser on any device (e.g., your Android phone) where you are signed in to your Google Account.
- Navigate to Delete Option: Look for the option to clear or delete browsing data. This is typically found within your browser's settings menu.
- Select Time Range: When deleting browsing data, you will often be asked to choose a duration. You can select a specific time range, like the last hour, last day, or all time.
- Choose Data to Delete: Make sure to select the option to delete browsing history, which also includes open tabs.
- Confirm Deletion: After selecting your desired options, confirm the deletion process. This will clear the selected browsing data on all devices logged into the same Google account.
Important Considerations
- Syncing: Ensure that history syncing is enabled in your browser settings for the changes to reflect on all devices.
- Data Loss: Deleting browsing data will remove your browsing history, cookies, cached files, and other saved data.
- Google Account: The reference mentions that deleting data saved to your Google Account from an Android device will remove it from all other devices where you're signed in to the same account. Therefore, if the devices are logged in to the same Google Account, the process explained above will apply.
