Tag: Delete My Activity

There is a “Google Activity Controls” section in Google accounts that works as an umbrella shed to manage all your activities including the recently visited websites, recent searches, videos viewed, and any other activity performed while logged in using the particular Google account. This feature can be very useful in situations when you want to go back to some work urgently or find some important information regarding your previous activity. In other situations, this same section runs a risk of being a means for others to peek into your life. This is especially true if you use a shared computer where more people use the system when you are not around.
