How to delete requests in Yandex on an Android phone Tarifkin.ru

Which browser is best for Android? Well, the most logical choice that comes to mind is Google Chrome. Not only is it pre-installed on almost all smartphones right out of the box, it is also generally quite intuitive, fast and convenient. However, some who do not want to commit themselves to Google services choose Yandex solutions. This is also a good choice, since Yandex.Browser is very, very functional. Another thing is that before you start interacting with it, it would be nice to understand it first.

Need to delete history in Yandex? Nothing is simpler

How to view blacklisted calls on Android

In my opinion, understanding Yandex Browser is still more difficult than understanding Google Chrome. This is primarily due to the fact that in the Yandex browser almost all interface elements are presented purely in the form of icons, while in Chrome they are mostly labeled. Moreover, Yandex designers come up with rather unusual external designations for interface components, so it turns out to be quite difficult for many to immediately understand what they mean. Of course, this is a useful skill, but it is much more logical to simply refer to our instructions.

Why delete Yandex query history from Android

Most of the reasons can be explained by the following points:

when the phone can be used by other people, and the user does not want them to see the history of his visits, especially for social networks, certain websites and other portals;
due to incorrect operation of the browser, it is also necessary to clear the history, since a large amount of saved data will lead to crashes and freezes in the mobile device system;
The subscriber needs to always have free space on the phone, which is why he clears the browser history.

In order for the gadget to work stably, many people recommend regularly clearing the memory of unnecessary data, including the history of visited sites. Otherwise, the Internet and processes running on the phone will freeze.

If the user needs some sites, and they cannot be deleted from the history, they can be saved as links.

Delete browser history

Before you begin the process of deleting history data, you need to know what browser history is. So, browser history is a place where user search queries and visited pages are saved for the entire period of use of the phone.

At the same time, you need to understand that the appearance of the continuation of the phrase when entering a search query is in no way connected with the saved browser history. This option is intended only to facilitate the search procedure and works on the search engine side. Such offers have nothing to do with the subscriber's requests, however, if they are colored blue or another color, then it is better to delete them, since they are related to history.

In addition, it is necessary to understand the structure of the history of online activity in Yandex services. In the case when a person uses the browser not as a guest, but is authorized under his own Yandex account, deleting requests will not be so easy.

This is due to the fact that the history is saved not only in the search engine parameters, but also in the profile itself. The last activity of this account will be saved even if the user logs in from another device, for example, a computer.

You can solve the problem in the settings settings not of the browser, but of Yandex itself.

However, if the user is not authorized in Yandex, and the history needs to be cleared, you can use the classic method of deleting requests. To do this you need to do the following:

click on the 3-dot icon, which is located on the right side of the search bar, this is necessary in order to go to settings and is relevant for the latest versions of the browser;
in the menu that opens, you need to select the “Settings” item, there is a list of functions, among them you need to find the “Privacy” section, the “Clear data” tab;
the following page will open where the user can select the data that he wants to delete, in addition, here you can clear the cache, warnings for websites, cookies, passwords and close all unnecessary tabs;
The required items are checked, then click the “Clear data” button.

In the same section, you can deactivate the history option, then the visit data will not be saved in it. However, the information will still be saved in your Yandex account.

To check the deletion of requests, you can again visit the history tab using the algorithm described above. If everything is done correctly, there will be no data about visited sites.

Storing user data online

Every person who actively uses the Internet should become familiar with how data about him or her can be stored online. It is worth noting that Yandex uses several storage methods, among which are the following:

Search engine query history. Quite a few users think about the fact that all the information about their search queries is stored online. It is worth noting that this data is not stored on the user device, but on special servers. Such information is collected not only by Yandex, but also by other search engines. This data is collected so that we can personalize search results and serve targeted advertisements in the future.
Browsing history. Yandex also collects information about the pages that the user visits using the search engine. Also, records of visited sites can be found in Y. Browser.

Some people believe that they can erase all collected data by deleting their browsing history through the browser. However, these steps are not enough to delete all collected information.

Clearing history will only help get rid of files that are stored on the user’s smartphone. In this case, nothing will be deleted on the servers. Therefore, you will have to figure out how to get rid of Yandex history, which is stored on the company’s servers.

A few years ago, deleting history was quite easy. To do this, you could use the Ya. Nakhodka service. However, it is currently not possible to clean it this way. The fact is that the service stopped working and was completely disabled. Therefore, you will have to use other methods.

Clearing search history is done through a browser for a mobile phone

Clearing network activity history

To clear network activity, it is recommended to follow these steps:

click on the icon with three vertical dots;
A menu will appear in which you need to find the “Settings” section;
a new screen will open, it will present all the functions with which you can control the browser;
you will need to find the “Privacy” section, and you need to make sure that the option to save history is enabled;
the user must check the box next to the “History” tab and press the “Clear data” button;
After confirming the procedure, all data will be deleted.

To check the correctness of the process, you need to repeat all the steps, only in this case, there will be no data in the history saving section.

This operation will help if the user needs to clear only saved queries and visited pages, and needs to leave other files, such as passwords, cookies and other caches, without any changes.

How to clear search history?

To eliminate unnecessary search queries, the user will have to:

To carry out a similar operation from a smartphone, you will need:

If the user is faced with the task of clearing the history of queries entered in the Yandex search bar, then the deletion method will depend on the specific browser. So, to clear information in Yandex browser:

To carry out a similar operation in Google Chrome, you must follow the instructions:

The mechanism for clearing other browsers is not much different from the method for deleting viewed web pages from Google Chrome. In order not to waste time clearing your history in the future, it is recommended to view web pages of interest in “Incognito Mode”. This mode is activated using the combination Ctrl + Shift + N.

Note! After cleaning the browser, it is additionally recommended to optimize the PC in one of the available utilities in order to eliminate “garbage” from folders with temporary data (“AppData”, “ProgramData” and “Temp”). For example, the free CCleaner utility with its intuitive interface is perfect. To comprehensively clean your computer, you will need to use the Cleaning and Registry tools located on the left side panel of CCleaner.

To clear search history from a smartphone using the Yandex application, you will need:

Clearing global history

You need to delete global history when the user wants his data to be completely inaccessible to other people. Moreover, this also applies to the Yandex account, that is, the data will be deleted from there too. It turns out that this operation must be performed in the Yandex system itself, and not in the browser settings.

So, to successfully complete the process you need to do these steps:

you need to log into the account whose history the user wants to clear;
after that you need to go to the website yandex.ru;
in the upper right part there will be a “Settings” section, you need to click on it;
in the menu that appears, click on the “Portal Settings” section;
A window will open where you need to select the “Search History” tab;
here you can delete those queries that were frequently asked;
Next, you need to go to the “Search Results” item and uncheck the submenu items in the search;
As a result, previous requests will no longer affect the rendering of pages in the browser.

By performing this process, you can either completely delete the history or completely disable the function so that it does not collect data in the future. Correctly performed actions will preserve the anonymity of the network subscriber.

Browsing history

By default, the Yandex program saves the history of sites visited by the user. It will help you find out links where the owner is on specific days and hours.

Browser settings

Instructions for deleting information about visited virtual pages:

Open the Yandex browser and select auxiliary settings through the three dots sign at the bottom of the screen.
Select the “Privacy” category and go to the “Clear data” section.
The system offers several options for deletion to choose from. To clear the history and cache, you need to check the box next to the items of the same name.
Confirm the action using the yellow button at the bottom of the screen.

Important! If you disable the “Save history” option, data about visited portals will not be remembered in the future. You can destroy data by reinstalling the program, after first deleting the program from the device’s memory.

We use additional applications

One of the most popular programs that can be used to remove unnecessary files and clear history is the CCleaner application. It can be downloaded to both your computer and your phone. The purpose of the program is to effectively remove unnecessary information so that the device works with greater performance.

The service allows you to delete cache, history and other information from any browser. In addition, unnecessary files can be deleted from the phone or computer itself. The process itself will occur automatically. The user only needs to select the required function, specify the browsers and sections that need to be cleared. After this, you can launch the application.

As a result, the program can not only delete the history of queries and sites visited, but also free up some space in the gadget’s system.

CCleaner is a free program, the interface supports Russian. There is an extended version of it that opens up additional features and blocks ads.

In addition, this service contains an option to clean up free space. The function will scan the phone and show a preliminary result of the memory size that will be freed after the process starts.

In addition to this application, there is another service - Clean Guru. This extension is only applicable to the Chrome browser.

The program is also capable of cleaning browser data, cookies, cache and downloads. All this will increase the overall speed of the browser and hide the user’s interests and sites visited from unnecessary people.

With Clean Guru you can:

delete the entire history or its individual parts;
clear data within a certain period of time;
delete data by pressing one “Eraser” key without going to the application settings.

In addition, the Clean Guru extension removes unnecessary information from the user’s individual profile. With certain settings, the service is able to remove some unnecessary data from a computer or phone, depending on where the application is used.

The extension will work reliably only in Chrome 19 and later versions. Other versions do not support the service or it works intermittently in them.

The extension is free, does not require additional costs and is easy to use. For it to work, you just need to download it to the browser from the list of extensions.

All of the above applications will slightly increase the level of user security when operating on the Internet and will save the client’s personal data in the event that his mobile device is taken over by an outsider.

Cleaning up the browser

The simplest and most obvious way is to clear your query history. By the way, the search engine allows you to delete not only histories, but also similar data from other browsers - if you have data export configured.

To clear all requests, do the following:

Now you can delete everything completely or selectively, as you wish. If, for example, you were looking for a gift for your significant other, and do not want your searches to become known, delete only the sites where you considered gift options.

And the request itself to Yandex too. If you want to clean up the whole story, it’s not difficult. But check first to see if there are any pages that need to be left (so as not to lose important information).

There is a nuance. Yandex will offer to clear data not only from history, but also from cache, pages, downloads, and so on. Some information is worth leaving, such as passwords. If you don’t want to re-enter passwords to log into a social network or your favorite online store, then you should skip this item on the list. Especially if you have forgotten your password. If you are worried about your passwords falling into the wrong hands, check this box as well.

You can delete web page data, but keep in mind that after this you will have to fill out, for example, the order form in a store again, log into your social network account again, and so on.

Open tabs – if you need them at the time of cleaning, uncheck this box, especially if the information on the pages is important. Otherwise, you can safely clean it.

Downloads – they can also be deleted like history. Moreover, it is recommended to do this if the uploaded photos, videos or audios somehow relate to private information.

Cache – it is recommended to clear it regularly, regardless of the degree of confidentiality of the information. On the one hand, the cache allows you to load already visited pages faster. On the other hand, it slows down the browser, since the saved data takes up space. In addition, when updating sites, problems arise with displaying information - the old version of the page is stored in the cache, and it conflicts with the new one. Therefore, the cache should be cleared.

Delete Yandex history selectively

In some cases, the user does not need to clear all history data, but only a small part of it. In this case, it is recommended to use selective deletion. For the process to complete correctly, you must do the following:

you need to go to a window with tabs, to do this you need to click on the icon with a number that displays the number of open tabs;
Next, the user must click on the icon with the image of a clock, this will open a list of sites;

after this, a complete list of Internet resources will become available, sorted by date, and the queries used to conduct the search will also be located here;
the subscriber can find the required item, click on it and hold his finger for two seconds;
A menu will open where you need to select the “Delete” button.

Thanks to this, the user can delete those files that he does not need, without affecting the main browser history. This will create the appearance that the browser is being used, while the subscriber will be able to delete certain materials.

How to remove a hint in Yandex?

Hints are more credible. What is displayed in them is popular\cool\useful\good\true - this is what users think. But it happens that the tips display an unwanted, offensive, reputation-defaming request. Digital Sharks will tell you how to remove a hint in Yandex.

Hints - what are they?

The tips can contain anything (that does not violate the rules), because the list is formed based on user requests. Simply put, if you typed in “how to eat upside down” and the search term “how to eat upside down” was more popular than the others, you might find out about a new food option. And this is even if you were looking for something completely different.

Note that Yandex hints contain not only popular and relevant queries. Canned answers may be displayed if you ask a question. Or a link to the site you are looking for.

Yandex noted that location can be taken into account when creating and ranking the list of tips. They may also take into account the interests of the user who is looking for something.

Disable hints

Such hints will be displayed when entering search phrases in the Yandex search engine. The source of their formation lies in a person’s previous requests, that is, from the history of his visits. Using such hints, you can find out what the user was interested in and where he visited before.

You can deactivate the hint service by following the following algorithm:

You will need to log in to your Yandex profile on your phone;
Next, you need to click on the icon of three horizontal stripes, they are located in the right corner of the main screen;
the user must click on the “Settings” section in the drop-down list of options;
select the “Search” function;
in the line “Show search history” you need to uncheck the box.

After completing the steps, entering queries in the search bar will not be accompanied by hints. This means that no one will know what the user entered earlier and what sites he visited.

To check the correct execution, you can perform the above algorithm again, only in this case the special line “Show search history” will be empty.

Removing the Yandex String application

If the user needs to uninstall an early analogue of Alice, the Yandex String program, then to carry out this operation you will need to use the standard tools of the operating system or a third-party utility.

In the first case, you will need to perform the following manipulations:

Go to the “Start” menu, select the “Windows - System Tools” section, go to “Control Panel”, then to “Programs and Features”.
In the list of installed software, find the “Yandex” component - right-click on the specified tool and select the “Uninstall” context menu option.
Follow the prompts on the screen.
After completing the uninstallation, you need to clean up the remaining program in the “Temp”, “AppData” and “Program Data” directories. To do this, you should configure the display of hidden files in the “Explorer” window (the “View” tab - “Options”, the section of the window “Folder Options” - “View”, the lower option “Show hidden files ...”), then go to the system drive, into the “Program Data” folder and clean out the “Yandex” folder.
Go to the “Users” folder, select the current user’s folder, go to “App Data” and clear all three subdirectories of components of the remote application.
Return to the local drive “C”, and in the search engine located in the upper right corner of the active dialog box, enter the name of the remote program - the monitor will display a list of related files that need to be selected and deleted using the Shift + Delete command.
Confirm your action by clicking on “Yes”.
Restart your PC. If necessary, clean the registry. In order to get into the registry window, just hold down the Win + R combination and enter the code “regedit” without quotes. You can only clean records that contain a link to the uninstalled software (open the record and check the “Value” field). Inexperienced users are better off abandoning the idea of cleaning the registry to avoid accidentally damaging a system file.
