In this guide, we will walk you through how to find your deleted history on Google Chrome on an Android device.
Method 1: Using Your Google Account

- Go to settings.
- Scroll down and find “Sync and Google services”.
- Make sure the “Sync your Chrome data” option is enabled.
- Then go to Google My Activity.
- Now you can view your browsing history.
Method 2: Using Third-Party Apps
There are third-party applications available that allow you to recover deleted browsing history. One of them is the ‘Recovery Tool’ app. Before using this method, make sure you back up your data to prevent any loss.
Steps:
- Install the ‘Recovery Tool’ app from the Google Play Store.
- Open the app and start a deep scan.
- The app will scan and display your deleted browsing history.
- Select the history you want to recover and hit the ‘Recover’ button.
Note: This method requires root access. So, please proceed with caution.
Conclusion
Recovering deleted browsing history on Google Chrome in an Android device is not as complex as it may seem. With the help of your Google account or a third-party app, you could easily find your deleted history. However, it’s always a good practice to regularly backup your data and sync your device with your Google account to prevent any data loss.
