Google recently released a huge update for Bard, adding several new features such as regional language support, Google Lens integration, recent chats, and more. Particularly, the ability to continue recent chats is interesting as Google saves your chats for improving Bard and also informs the user that human reviewers may access them to improve the experience. Google also asks users to not share confidential and sensitive information on Bard. And to be cautious, we suggest you delete your Google Bard chat history and turn off Bard activity permanently. You wouldn’t want anyone to read your private chat with Bard, right? So follow our tutorial and learn how to delete your Google Bard chat history.
How to Delete Your Google Bard Chats
