Google Search History: Missing ability to turn ...

Hey guys,

 

Ever since upgrading to iOS 11, I'm experiencing an odd issue with the Google homepage on my Safari browser (iPad mini 4). It started showing my search history in the box as I typed in new searches. On my iPhone (still running iOS 10), I can go into settings and easily find a "Do Not Save Search History" button, but I'm not seeing the same thing on my iPad.

 

So it seems like this may be something related to the iOS 11 update? Can anyone potentially shed any light on this?

 

Thanks.

Hello smier33,


Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you want to clear some history in the Safari app on your iPad. To do this, go to Settings > Safari, tap the "Clear History and Website Data" and then restart your iPad as iOS clears cached data and does other system optimizations when you turn your device off and on. Once your iPad is back on, then go back to Settings > Safari and adjust options like "Ask Websites Not To Track Me" and "Search Engine Suggestions."

Hi Jeremy,

 

Thanks for the suggestion, however, this didn't solve my problem. Google's Search History remains on when I search from their site.

 

To clarify, I'm going to the bottom of the Google Homepage and clicking on "Settings". On my iPhone, the first setting option I see is "Search History", to which I've selected "Do not save searches". So my iPhone's good.

 

But when I go into the Google Settings from my iPad, I do not see the "Search History" option. Somehow, I need to figure out how to bring it back.

 

The only thing that's changed recently on my iPad was the update to iOS 11, which is why that's the first place I've started.

 

Thanks.

Thanks for replying, smier33, and that additional info, it really helps! Since it sounds like you're having this issue in the Google app and not in the Safari app on your iPad, please follow the steps Google recommends on your situation:
