History is a very practical function which makes it very easy to find all the searches carried out on the Play Store application (movies, music, apps, etc.). Thanks to this tool you can for example resume a search stopped due to a network problem or find the name of an artist.

To use it, just start typing a few letters in the search bar. The menu will then display applications but also films or books corresponding to your browsing history. Terms from your history are preceded by a small clock icon. image

Please note, this information can be easily read by a person using your smartphone. If for personal reasons you do not want everyone to know what you do on the Play Store, consider cleaning the history regularly ..
