You have to be careful nowadays when browsing the internet on all your devices since its hard to keep track of what you were doing on which device. This can lead to some embarrassing moments when you hand someone else your phone or when you want to show someone something on your phone and your unsavoury browsing history comes up.

A story on WGN TV Chicago was supposed to show students from Illinois how to get their juvenile offences removed from their record but a screengrab from some people on reddit found something that’s sure to make any face turn red. The phone of the person demoing the process showed a link to Pornhub which is one of the most popular porn sites on the internet.
Here we will show you how to get rid of your browsing history on Google Chrome since it’s now the default browser for a lot of Android phones.
1. From anywhere within the app, hit the menu button
2. Press the “History” button.
3. If you want to clear individual items, you can search for individual keywords and remove urls one by one using the “X” button to the right of them.
4. To clear all the browsing history just hit the “Clear browsing data” button at the bottom of the app.
5. You can then select to delete browsing history, cache, cookies and saved passwords among other things. You should be good with clearing the history and cache alone.
6. Press the “clear” button once you’re done and wait for the process to complete.
You can use incognito mode when you want to browse something that people do not approve of. Incognito mode will not store any browsing history, cookies or cache as long as you’re browsing in that mode.
You can also use an app locker app in order to protect information in those apps. Most snoopers do their work under the guise of making an important phone call or text but they somehow find their way onto something else. An app locker allows you to hand someone your phone and have the peace of mind that they can’t access anything without the appropriate password.
