How can someone VIew browsing history when incognito mode

Mr Mr · Oct 27, 2017

Hi

Hi can any tell me how it's possible for someone to see my browsing history when I was incognito mode (Chrome).

I would think that it's impossible but this was done with my P9 lite and an older windows mobile phone, I think it was running chrome. is there a place where the files are cache or a list is saved.

I had a look and my google account and nothing appears there.

I surfed the internet for ages and nothing is there. My last idea is that he installed spy app, not sure on how to detect and uninstall it please help.

Thanks

The whole point of incognito mode is to not retain any history.

Could be a spy app. Or if you're using his WiFi he might be able to track sites you visit as well as other activities on his router. There's a lot of ways to see where connected devices visit on my router. Your best bet is your own connection on incognito mode while using a VPN. Best of luck.

Incognito mode isn't a magical way to hide your web browsing, it's only a matter where your browser stops saving things like cookies and history info.
Your ISP (at home) or any ISP (elsewhere), using WiFi connectivity, and your carrier, using mobile data, still have complete, unaltered records of whatever online activity is going in and out of your phone. So it also follows that if anyone is actively monitoring your online usage everywhere you go (unlikely), using incognito mode doesn't do anything to protect you from that as it's only relative to what your browser keeps track of. By saying it's unlikely, something like an actual spyware utility installed on your phone would involve a) someone intentionally targeting you and b) they need physical possession of your phone to install and configure that app itself. A more likely problem is your email account or one of your online social media accounts has been compromised. Change your passwords if there's any indication of that.
