At I/O 2021, Google announced some interesting new features in mobile search. Android users will now be able to delete the last 15 minutes of their search history with a new update.
The feature was first spotted by Mishaal Rahman XDA Developers, who claimed to have been informed about the update, and it is currently rolling out. To check availability, users can open the default Google app on their Android phone and tap the profile picture icon. This should open the Account Settings page, which contains a new option, allowing you to delete the last 15 minutes from your search history.
At Google I/O 2021, Google announced that it will roll out an option to delete the last 15 minutes of search history. This was rolled out on iOS in July 2021 but is said to be coming to Android later. Well, it looks like it’s being rolled out now!

Google rolled out this update to iOS devices in July 2021, but it failed to meet the initial Android release deadline. The update is expected to be available to everyone in the next few weeks, and can only be used on the default Google Search app. Users can access this by clicking on the search bar on the home screen or simply by sliding on their device.
It’s not clear if the company plans to bring the feature to the desktop, as during last year’s I/O event, they never specified what platforms to target. Google only released the feature for iOS in July, and now it’s expanding to Android.
This year, Google will host its site Annual Developer Conference on May 11-12, direct from Shoreline Amphitheater at Mountain View headquarters, and will be streamed online for free. Broadcast to an invite-only live audience, the event is a far cry from the 2021 digital event and its 2020 cancellation.
