As Microsoft continues to compete against Google in the search engine space, the introduction of ChatGPT-powered Bing Chat AI is drawing more users. If you’re one of those new users, you may be wondering how to delete your Bing Chat AI search history for reasons such as privacy concerns or decluttering your search history. This article provides step-by-step instructions to help you delete your Bing Chat AI search history.
Why Delete Bing Chat AI Search History?
You should delete your Bing Chat AI search history for several reasons. Some of the most common ones are:
- Privacy concerns: You may not want others to see your chats or searches with Bing Chat AI on your device or account. Deleting your search history can protect your personal data and choices from unwanted attention.
- Decluttering your search history: You may have many useless or current queries in your search history. Deleting your search history can free up space and make your searches more effective.
- Resetting your personalization: You may change how Bing Chat AI customizes your results and suggestions based on your past queries. Deleting your search history can help you start over and get different results and suggestions from Bing Chat AI.
Is Bing Search and Bing Chat AI History the same?
They are not, but Microsoft clubs them together. So when you delete the search history from your account, you will need to figure out which one was used for Bing AI Chat and which you typed directly on the Bing search box.
Also note that when you use Bing Chat, your query is modified. For example, if you search for Who is Rock, the search may look like Rock person. Microsoft records the term “Rock Person” in the search history.
