What Samsung Internet Stores

Samsung Internet may store:

• browsing history
• search history
• cookies
• cached files
• website data
• autofill entries
• saved permissions

Deleting browser history removes local browser records, but it does not delete Google account activity.

Delete Google Search History Separately

If you searched Google while signed in, remove that activity from your Google account too.

Clear Cookies and Cache

Cookies and cache can keep website data after history is removed. When deleting browsing data, select cookies and cached images/files for a more complete cleanup.

Use Secret Mode

Samsung Internet includes Secret Mode for more private local browsing. Secret Mode helps reduce local history storage, but it does not hide everything from websites, networks, or logged-in accounts.

Final Thoughts

To clear search history on Samsung Internet, delete browsing data from the browser settings and clear Google account activity separately if you use Google Search. This gives a cleaner result than clearing only one place.
