Google Go's Incognito new mode will now keep your search experience private
Google Go's Incognito mode will not let your searches save on the device.

Google Go has now got a new privacy mode where the users will be able to keep their searches private. This new Incognito mode is aimed at users who keep on swapping between different smartphones or use a common phone that is used by many. This mode will not let other users access your searches.To turn on this security mode, you have to open the app and tap on the gray Incognito icon on the right side of the search bar. You can tap on the same icon once you are done with your work so that it can go back to the normal mode. This way whatever you searched for will not be saved on the device and it will not reflect in the search history as well.[caption id="attachment_7549851" align="alignnone" width="1024"]![Gallery Go.]()
