We have previously discussed the steps necessary to delete your browsing history in the iPhone 5 Safari app, but not everyone chooses to use that as their primary browser.
The Chrome iPhone 5 app is very fast, plus it has the benefit of being able to sync with any Chrome browser on another device that you are signed into with the same Google Account.
This makes the Chrome iPhone 5 app a great choice if you are constantly switching between your phone and computer, but want to be able to view a Web page or continue reading an article that you hadn’t finished on the other device.
But sometimes you will visit a site that you do not want to appear in your browser history, so you need to delete your Chrome iPhone 5 browser history. Fortunately you can follow the procedure below to perform this action.
