Clear Yandex Browser on Android: easy and simple
History is a place where the addresses of all visited Internet sites are saved (the exception is the time when the Incognito mode is used).
A user who has not yet mastered using Android or the Yandex application itself may have questions about how to clear it (history). These recommendations can also help when deleting histories of other browsers and operating systems.
If you don’t want anyone to know about the resources you visited, you have to clear your browser history, and not only the names of sites are saved there, but also the subsections you went to. Clearing history is not always an option.
If a request is made from your device for which you deleted the history, the visited pages will still have a purple tint. And during the process of typing in a query, the phrase by which you decided to search for information may appear. In Incognito mode, the search engine and the application itself do not remember anything like that (neither pages nor queries).
