<\/span>History from Another Device<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you want to check your incognito history on a device that isn’t yours, there are a few ways to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One way is to use an app like Ghostery which will show you all of the websites that have been visited on any devices that are linked to your account (including those used in incognito mode). You can access this by going to ghostery.com and signing in with the same credentials you use Chrome (or other Google products).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another way is to use Google’s own “My Activity” feature which will show you everything that has been searched for and visited on any devices associated with your Google account – including those used in incognito mode. You can access this by going to myactivity.google.com and signing in with the same credentials you use Chrome (or other Google products).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Other Things You Should Know About How to View Incognito History<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- If you’re using incognito mode on your computer, the websites that are visited will not be included in your browsing history or search history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you’re using incognito mode on your phone, the websites that are visited will not be included in your browser’s history but they WILL be included in your search history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Incognito mode is NOT a guarantee of privacy – any website (or app) that you visit can still track and store information about you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Deleting your browsing and\/or search history from within Chrome or other browsers DOESN’T delete it from Google’s servers. To do this, you need to go to myactivity.google.com and delete it manually.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How to Delete History in Private Browsing<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTo delete your browsing history in incognito mode, simply open up Chrome and select “History” from the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From here you can clear everything – including items that have already been deleted in the past – by selecting “Clear History”. This will include both your browser history as well as any searches you’ve made while using incognito mode. Note that this only clears things on YOUR computer! Any other devices associated with your account are unaffected (and Google’s servers won’t be affected either). To remove individual websites or search terms from being tracked, see below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- While viewing a list of previous searches (under “Searches”), click on one to bring up more information about it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Next to the “Visits” header, you’ll see a small down arrow – click on this<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A new window will pop up with a list of all the websites that have been visited as a result of that particular search. To delete any or all of these websites, simply select them and hit the delete key on your keyboard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How to Enable Incognito Search on Different Devices?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are a few different ways to enable incognito mode for searching on different devices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- If you’re using multiple devices (e.g., a computer and phone) with the same Google account, all you need to do is open your browser on one device and select “New Incognito Window” from the menu at the top of your screen<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- To enable incognito mode for Android phones or tablets that are NOT associated with an existing Gmail account, go into Chrome’s settings, tap on History & Privacy then click Clear browsing data. Once this has been completed, simply close out of Settings and start-up Chrome again – you should now be in incognito mode!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How to View Google Chrome Incognito History?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTo view any websites or searches visited through incognito mode within Chrome:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Open Chrome and select “History” from the menu<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- On your computer, you’ll see a list of everything that has been visited on any device associated with your account – including those used in incognito mode. To delete individual items or entire categories (e.g., search terms) from this list, simply click on them once to bring up an options window. From here you can remove specific things by clicking “X” next to each one OR clear out everything at once by selecting the topmost header (“Clear browsing data”)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Note: if you’re viewing websites for which there are no previous visits listed yet were accessed through incognito mode, it’s possible that they will appear in Google’s<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhile the incognito mode is a great way to keep your browsing history private, it’s not 100% foolproof. Any website (or app) that you visit can still track and store information about you – so be careful! Additionally, remember that deleting your browsing and\/or search history from within Chrome or other browsers DOESN’T delete it from Google’s servers. To do this, you need to go to myactivity.google.com and delete it manually. Finally, there are a few different ways to enable incognito mode for searching on different devices – depending on what you’re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
