In this guide, we will show you how to quickly delete your Galaxy Note 8 browser history. Whether you’re trying to recover from recent internet activity or just want to hide evidence of any holiday or birthday purchases, here’s how to do it.

There are many security measures in our smartphones, but this is one more step towards keeping your information safe. We will review deleting your internet activity, clearing the cache, autofilling cookies, form data and even passwords.

Almost every Google search or website you visit is saved and remembered, unless you’re browsing with a private browser. And while that’s fine for the most part, some will want the added privacy of getting rid of any marks. We all have our reasons, and here’s how to get started.

Before we begin, it is worth noting that many Android smartphones have more than one browser. With the Galaxy Note 8, you have Samsung’s “Internet” app or you can use Google Chrome. We’ll cover both in our instructions below.

Many Android users probably download Google Chrome when they first get a device. However, millions of Samsung Galaxy owners use Samsung’s internet application. We’ll start with that by clearing your browser history, then continue reading for Google Chrome.

By default, Samsung’s internet app instantly deletes all your web browsing history, cache, cookies and site data. This does not delete logins and passwords for Amazon or Netflix and other sites you visit.

If you want to delete them too, select them from the popup above and then hit the Delete button once more. Note that this clears everything. Every site you visit, your login for those sites and everything. Now the login details and passwords are gone until you re-enter them and let the browser save them. If you don’t want to lose form data and passwords, leave them unchecked.

Clear Browsing History in Google Chrome

Next, we will explain the same process for Google Chrome Browser. It’s worth noting that Google gives users a lot more control over their browsing history, including what you do or don’t delete. You can clear your history for an hour, 24 hours, or until the end of the period. That way, it doesn’t look like you’re trying to hide something or clear your history.

From here, Google shows the essential items that most users will want to delete. Additionally, you can hit Advanced for more control over everything. As you can see in our image, Google allows you to choose from 1 hour to the end of the time. It gives you full control over how much information is deleted.

That’s it and we’re done with Google Chrome. If you haven’t changed the duration, Google only removes the last hour of browsing history. So make sure you choose how far back you want to erase.

We like the options in Google Chrome. More specifically, the ability to delete each result or website visit one by one before mass-deleting as per the instructions above. Choose which method works best for you, and that’s it. That way, you can delete anything you want to get rid of without explicitly stating it.

In closing, all browsers have private or “Incognito mode” and this mode does not save your browsing history or anything. Open Google Chrome and choose to open a new Incognito tab to avoid this issue at startup. While you’re here, learn how to change and download fonts on the Galaxy Note 8.
