In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to delete searches on Google Maps for both Android and iOS devices.
Step 1: Access Google Maps

On your profile page, scroll down and tap on “Your places.” Then, tap on “Search history” to view your list of past searches.
Step 4: Select the Search to Delete
Scroll through your search history and find the search you want to delete. Once you’ve located the search, tap on it to select it.
Step 5: Delete the Search
After selecting the search, you will see a menu with options such as “Edit,” “Remove,” and “More.” Tap on “Remove” to delete the search from your history.
Step 6: Confirm Deletion
A confirmation prompt will appear, asking if you’re sure you want to delete the search. Tap “OK” to confirm the deletion.
