The Google Play Store has the ability to remember what apps you search for, which can be handy when searching for updates or checking in on a soon-to-launch app.
But if you're constantly searching for new apps, the Google Play Store's long memory can be annoying, as it'll start to slow down your searches. That's especially true if your phone isn't brand new. You may also want to keep your app searches private, which the saved search feature doesn't help with.
But if you want to delete your Google Play history, it's about as simple as deleting the search history in your internet browser. Here's how to do it.
