Whether you want to clear everything or just remove a few chats, I’ve got you covered with easy steps and some handy answers to common questions.

How to Delete a Single Chat or Thread Instead of Everything
If you don’t want to erase your whole history, you can just delete specific chats or threads. Here’s how I do it:
Open the app, then tap the icon that takes you to your history or threads. Find the chat you want to remove—maybe it’s that embarrassing question you asked at 2 AM. Tap the three dots (⋮) next to it, then hit Delete. Confirm, and that single chat is gone—no need to clear everything.
This method is perfect if you just want to tidy up a bit without losing all your past searches. You can repeat this as many times as you want for different chats. 🗑️
What Happens After You Clear Your History
Once you clear your history, all your previous searches and conversations disappear from your account on that device. This means you won’t be able to go back and review old answers or questions. If you use Perplexity on other devices, you might need to repeat the process there, since history can be device-specific.
Also, clearing your history doesn’t affect your account settings or subscriptions. It just wipes the list of past conversations, giving you a fresh start for new searches.
Conclusion
Wiping your Perplexity search history on Android is a breeze. Whether you want to clear everything or just get rid of a few chats, the steps are quick and straightforward. I always feel better knowing my search history is under control, and you can do the same in just a minute or two.
If you ever want to keep things tidy or just want a fresh start, now you know exactly what to do. Happy searching! ✨
