Navigate to myaccount.google.com. Or, if you're logged into Google, click your profile photo in the top right corner of the Google homepage.

Choose the "Data & personalization" option on the lefthand column.

Click "Web & App Activity," and then choose "Manage Activity."

Press the "Choose to delete automatically" button.

Select either "Keep for 18 months" or "Keep for 3 months" depending on your preference. Activity data will be deleted after that time period.

To do this on your Android phone, start by launching the Settings app and choosing "Google."

Then tap the "Google Account" option.

Select "Data & personalization."

Choose "Web & App Activity."

Select "Manage activity."

Select "Choose to delete automatically" and pick a time limit of three months or 18 months.

If you're an iPhone user, launch the Gmail app and tap "Settings" option in the main menu. This menu can be accessed by tapping the symbol that looks like three horizontal lines stacked on top of one another in the top left corner.

Tap your email address at the top of the screen.

Select "Manage your Google account."

Select "Data & personalization" and follow the same steps described in slides nine through 11.
