Recover Deleted Browsing History on Android

Let’s admit, while freeing up storage space on Android, we usually delete the app data and junk files. Well, Junk files are okay to delete, but deleting the app data might invite some troubles. For example, clearing the app data for the Chrome browser removes the Google Account, Browser histories, bookmarks, etc.

If you have enabled the Google Account Sync, then you can get back the deleted data like browsing histories, bookmarks, etc., but what if you have not turned on the Account sync option? So, if you are a Google Chrome user and have lost your browsing history, then don’t worry, we have got you covered.
