Deleted My Chrome History. Any idea How To Recover?

[PeterSmith]

Hi Friends,

I am new to the forum. I have deleted my chrome history by mistake. Any idea how to recover it. On google I am getting results like these which suggest methods for PC but not mobile. Any thoughts on how to do for mobile? Or do you think the same method would also work for mobile?

It doesn't hurt to try

Hi @PeterSmith, sorry to hear about what has happened.

In general for mobile device running Android as the operating system, if you delete data that is not backed up or synced, the data will be deleted and you won't be able to recover it. In some cases even the sync does not help, in case you delete even the synced data.

As far as I can see, it looks almost the same on PC as on mobile, since you have the same kind of settings menus. Open up Chrome > tap the three dots in the top right corner > History > tap and hold on the round icon with a small "i" inside it > Show info. In here, there is a round icon with a question mark at the top, press and hold > tap on "Help & feedback", but apart from following these instructions, there isn't anything else I can suggest.

Let us know how it went!
