Twitter is one of the best social apps to reveal your opinions and a one-stop destination for the news. You can read news and get worldwide trends in various categories, like entertainment, sports, and many more. Like Google, Twitter remembers your search activities to suggest content. In addition, the search history helps users to revisit a particular search. However, the search history concerns certain users who value their privacy. If you don’t like to save your search history by Twitter, you must clear them on your smartphone or PC to avoid suggestions based on your activity.
