One of the greatest peculiarities of voice assistants and more particularly of Google Assistant, is the ability to memorize the requests made by the user and to exploit them to ensure more accurate and personal answers. This obviously can only be good for the user himself, even if for some it could be annoying and unsafe in the field of privacy. Precisely for this reason the Mountain View company makes available a history of requests and allows anyone to edit it, removing all unnecessary commands.
View and delete your Google Assistant history
Obviously, to view the history screen of requests made to Google Assistant, it will be necessary to have a smartphone (or tablet), regardless of the operating system used. However, if you are using an iPhone, make sure you have it the free application available on the App Store.
Android Guide
Using a smartphone Android you will almost certainly have the Google assistant pre-installed and for this reason the procedure to follow will be even simpler and more immediate.

- Drag the screen up to access the tab "Your updates"
- Click on the profile photo at the top right and then on "Settings"
