I noticed this morning that things I searched for using Google on my iPhone in Safari (not porn) showed up on my work laptop’s Google search history. It’s never happened until this morning but I did notice a couple of weeks ago that YouTube was sharing my searches. And I don’t even have any kind of YouTube account.

So how can I stop this sharing of Google search information? There may be things at some point (probably porn) that I certainly do not want showing up on my work computer’s history.

A separate Google account might work I think.

I’m not logged into Google tho. At least not on my phone.

You sure you didn't just get bored at work and start googling porn?

Never on the work computer.

Make sure you're not logged onto your google account on your work computer.

Alot of times I am logged in and dont even know it, on both my phone and my work computer.

The interchange of history never happened to me tho, I gotta say.

I use chrome on both. I don't know if that makes a difference

I use chrome on my work computer as well. Safari on my phone.

Unless I HAD to log in to use Google Docs, I’ve never logged into Google on my work computer. And if I did I won’t be able to log out because we have to use Google Docs unfortunately.

But I’ve never logged into Google on my phone. That’s what’s so perplexing.
