How to View and Delete Google Lens History

Jul. 17, 2024

Google Lens is a great app that lets you use your phone’s camera to search for similar products and results on the web, recognize and copy text, translate the text on the go, and more. These search results tend to pile up over time in your Google account activity, and if you want to get rid of the things you’ve searched in the past, there are a few easy ways to delete Google Lens history. Here’s how to do it.

Method 1: View and Delete Google Lens History on Android

Considering you’re using the Google Lens app that comes built-in on most Android phones, the app has a dedicated option that takes you to the history and lets you delete it. Here’s how.

Alternatively, you can also launch theGoogleapp >profile picture>Search History>Controlsand tap theGoogle Lens iconto see all the Lens history.

Since there’s no dedicated Google Lens app available on the App Store, you can only view and delete your Lens search history using the Google app on an iPhone.

Google’s Activity controls can be accessed via the web, thus making it easy to view and delete your search history and activity across all Google apps on a PC.

And those are some of the ways you can delete your Google Lens history. We recommend setting up the custom interval option so that you don’t have to fiddle your account settings each time you want to clear the Lens history. You can also use theAuto-deleteoption to allow Google to delete your search history automatically every few months.
