Hello everybody, This is Tanweer. Today I will guide you to delete or erase your Facebook search history. You know what Facebook keeps a record of everything you search and your search terms get stored in your Activity Log. It is just like some search engines like Google and Yahoo and email services, Facebook also memorizes users search histories so that it can offer appropriate suggestions to them depending upon their areas of interest.

Each time you look for a friend, business, or personality or anything on Facebook, it gets saved to your search history. Facebook search history may include the profiles and/or names of the people that you may have searched and or visited, Facebook fan pages, posts, etc.

Facebook has not just remained a way to connect with your family and friends, but, it is also a source of different types of information, news, brand promotions etc. The Facebook app gathers as much information about you as possible and sells it to advertisers. Because of this, it can offer suggestions according to your searches and interests. However, this can cause info leak. Besides, you may want to remove irrelevant or unwanted search items. But the thing is that you cannot clear your search history by deleting the cookies from your Android because Facebook comes with a special button to clear or delete search history.

There are some People who like keeping things private which they have searched on Facebook and want to limit some of the information Facebook is keeping about you, or just tidy up the list. In this tutorial I will show you how to delete or clear Facebook search history on Android Phone.

Steps to delete or clear Facebook search history on Android

STEP 1) Launch [ Facebook ] on your Android Mobile by touching the icon of the Facebook application.

 

STEP 2) Once Facebook opened, [ Sign or Login into Facebook ] by entering your credentials.
