Information Sharing Question

I noticed this morning that things I searched for using Google on my iPhone in Safari (not porn) showed up on my work laptop’s Google search history. It’s never happened until this morning but I did notice a couple of weeks ago that YouTube was sharing my searches. And I don’t even have any kind of YouTube account.

So how can I stop this sharing of Google search information? There may be things at some point (probably porn) that I certainly do not want showing up on my work computer’s history.

A separate Google account might work I think.

You sure you didn't just get bored at work and start googling porn?

Make sure you're not logged onto your google account on your work computer.

Alot of times I am logged in and dont even know it, on both my phone and my work computer.

The interchange of history never happened to me tho, I gotta say.

I use chrome on both. I don't know if that makes a difference

Ah, also make sure your "sync" is turned off .

I use chrome on my work computer as well. Safari on my phone.

Unless I HAD to log in to use Google Docs, I’ve never logged into Google on my work computer. And if I did I won’t be able to log out because we have to use Google Docs unfortunately.

But I’ve never logged into Google on my phone. That’s what’s so perplexing.
