To delete your browsing history on a Samsung Galaxy device, typically using the Samsung Internet app, follow these steps:
- Open the Samsung Internet app.
- Tap the Menu icon (usually represented by three horizontal lines) located at the bottom right or top right corner of the screen.
- Select Settings from the menu.
- Tap Personal browsing data.
- Tap Delete browsing data.
- Choose the types of data you want to delete (e.g., Browsing history, Cookies and site data, Cached images and files).
- Tap Delete data.
- Confirm by tapping Delete.
Alternative Method (for Chrome or other browsers):
If you are using a different browser on your Galaxy phone, such as Chrome, the steps will be slightly different:
- Open the Chrome app.
- Tap the Menu icon (three vertical dots) in the top right corner.
- Select History.
- Tap Clear browsing data...
- Choose the Time range (e.g., Last hour, Last 24 hours, All time).
- Select the types of data you want to clear (Browsing history, Cookies and site data, Cached images and files, etc.).
- Tap Clear data.
Important Considerations:
- Different Browsers: The exact steps may vary slightly depending on the specific browser you are using.
- Syncing: If you are signed in to a browser like Chrome with a Google account, your browsing history might be synced across devices. Deleting the history on your Galaxy will also delete it from other devices where you are signed in.
- Third-Party Apps: Clearing browser history within the app will only affect that particular app. Other apps you use on your phone might also track your activity.
- Privacy Settings: Review the privacy settings of each browser you use for further customization of data collection and deletion options.
