We had to wait nearly a year for one of the new features announced at Google I/O 2021 to start hitting our Android devices, and it’s doing so eight months after it hit iOS. We are talking about the function delete the last 15 minutes of our search history.
When Google launched this feature on iOS in July 2021, Google announced that this feature would come to Android later, but we didn’t think we would have to wait that long, but now we know that in the next few weeks, this feature will be available for everyone
10 GOOGLE APPS THAT COULD BE SUCCESS
Delete the last 15 minutes of history
This new feature comes** to strengthen the privacy** of Google Search, giving users a quick way to delete the last 15 minutes of searches so as not to leave traces of the consultations we have carried out during the last quarter of an hour.
At Google I/O 2021, Google announced that it will be rolling out an option to delete the last 15 minutes of your search history. This rolled out to iOS in July 2021, but it’s been rumored to come to Android later. Well, it now seems to be unfolding!

This feature has already started hitting early Android users, but hasn’t made it to everyone yet. Google has confirmed that they are still implementing this 15-minute deletion on Android and that over the next few weeks they will be gradually enabling it for their users.
As in iOS, the new function will be found in the menu of the google app. By clicking on the photo of our profile from the next few days we will be able to see the new option Delete the last 15 minutes. After clicking on the new function, all the searches we have done in the last 15 minutes will be deleted. Yes, as long as we have the search history on.
