Recovery Options for Deleted Google Search History

Unfortunately, once you’ve cleared your browser history locally, it’s typically gone from your device. However, you have a few options:

If you use Google Account:

1. Visit myactivity.google.com on any device

2. Log in with your Google account

3. Check “Web & App Activity” - Google stores search history here (if enabled)

4. Use the search/filter function to find your recipe

Pros:

Works across all devices

Independent of browser clearing

Can filter by date/keyword

Cons:

Only works if Web & App Activity was enabled beforehand

Privacy concerns for some users

Alternative solutions:

Check your phone’s download history if you visited the recipe page

Look through Chrome sync data (Settings → Sync)

Check browser cache recovery apps (limited success rate)

For future: Enable Google sync or bookmark important pages. Most monitoring/recovery apps won’t help with already-deleted browser data unless they were installed beforehand.

Is your Web & App Activity currently enabled in your Google account settings?
