The feature is available in the Google app on iOS and will come to Android devices later this year. The feature was first announced at Google I/O in May and is now making its way to iOS devices. This is useful in case you share your device with other people and don’t want to go into settings to manually delete history. The Google app can also clear search activity every 3,18, or 36 months, if the option is turned on.
In a recent blog post, Google shared is has rolled out a new privacy option for Google app on iOS.

Google also offers an incognito mode for searching and an auto-delete feature, but this new option makes things a bit simpler.

For those unaware, Google lets you turn on or off saving Web and app activity on Google sites and apps on both iOS and Android. If you have this feature turned on, there is an auto-delete feature that gives you three options — 3 months, 18 months, and 36 months. This means the search history will be cleared every 3, 18, or 36 months. By default, it is set to 18 months, but you can change it by heading to the Google app, tapping on your profile icon and then Search history. Here you should see the Auto-delete feature wherein you can select the duration. Regardless of the auto-delete feature, you can manually delete your Web and app activity at any time.
