How To Clear Google Play Store Search History

Google Play Store is a great place to find new apps and games for your Android devices. However, when you search for apps on Play Store then these searches are saved in the history. The same happens with the uninstalled apps you have installed previously on your device as a list of these apps is saved under the Play Store library. This means that anyone having access to your phone can see what apps you have searched and installed on your device previously, which is a serious privacy concern.

To make the Play Store more private you can delete your searches and library at regular intervals. This way no one can view your searches and library even they have access to your phone. However, if you don’t know how to clear Play Store search history and Library then you can read this tutorial.
