Does anyone know how to see someone's history on Google Chrome?

My kid is 12 and has been spending a lot of time on their laptop lately and I want to make sure they’re not getting into anything inappropriate. I checked the browser but it looks like the history might have been cleared. Is there a way to recover deleted history or see what sites they’ve been visiting even after it’s been wiped?

There’s no reliable way to recover deleted history without specialized software, which raises privacy concerns. Consider talking directly with your kid instead of trying to spy.

Hey Graham1, it’s great you want to keep an eye out! Once Chrome history is deleted, it’s tricky to get it back directly from the browser. You might want to look into parental control apps or set up Google Family Link; they give safer, ongoing oversight without sneaking around. Makes parenting tech a bit less stressful!
