Why did Google wait 8 months to add a new Search feature to Android after iOS got it first?
Google is just now giving Android users a feature for Search that it gave iOS users last July
To see whether your Android phone has been endowed with this feature, open the Google app and tap the profile picture in the upper right corner. Underneath “Search history” you should see an option that says, “Delete last 15 minutes.” Tap that and any search history accumulated over the last 15 minutes will disappear like magic.
Google does give Search users an option to automatically delete search history going back 3, 18, or 36 months and this is available on both iOS and Android right now. To enable that feature, open the Google app, tap the profile picture in the upper right corner, and tap on Search history. From the Search history screen, you will see a bar that shows icons of a trash can and a clock and reads “Auto-delete (Off).
Tap the Auto-delete bar and you will see an option to Auto-delete activity older than 18 months. Press the button to enable the Auto-delete and then tap on the gray box directly underneath to choose how far back you want your search history deleted automatically. As we said, you can choose from 3, 18, or 36 months.
Why did Google give iOS users first crack at this feature? Here’s a theory
