Can people see your history if your WiFi is off?

Can I see what is being searched on my WiFi?

If you're using the built in search function, can I see what's being searched for?

It's showing "1 results" but not what they are. Is there a way to view them? The built in search will give you a page listing all searches that have been completed and some information on the device and the location it is from. This could possibly be helpful but is not a complete list of searches.

If you do a complete search of your WiFi you can use our Android app or website to view the history and searches. The data can be viewed for each day, each month, or all time. There is also an option to export the data as a CSV file.

Note that all data will only go back 3 days.

Can WiFi owners see what you search?

Most smartphone users aren't aware of their data usage, but some experts say it is time we paid more attention to how much we are consuming.

The average smartphone user in Canada now has a 2GB allowance on their wireless plan each month, but they still don't realize that half of this capacity goes to apps and services - and one company is trying to make that a reality. Canadians use as much as 500 gigabytes (GB) a month on their wireless plans, according to Statistics Canada. But there's a growing number of companies who want to make those bills a lot harder to avoid.

As of Dec. 11, wireless providers have had to provide a customer with an estimate of data usage in real-time at no extra cost for most customers, but one company is trying to make sure the numbers don't change.

Canadians use as much as 500 gigabytes a month on their wireless plans. They still don't realize half of that goes to apps and services.

If the consumer is not aware of their billable data and it is not included in the initial contract, then they are essentially taking a loan, said Sean McKeough, a director of IT consulting for the Ottawa-based telecom company, Communitech. And like any loan, they have to pay it back.

But if the provider can determine how much data is consumed at no extra cost, then perhaps the consumer doesn't have to worry about overspending, said McKeough. If your provider knew what you were spending, then it would be very easy to set up a plan for you, he said. If we don't know how much data you're consuming, then it's not a fair game.

Most consumers pay no attention to how much they use their phones, smartphones or tablets. In fact, one in five Canadians doesn't know how much data they are consuming.

It's the last thing on the list of things that people do in a day, McKeough said. Canadians are currently using about 500GB of data a month.

Can people see your history if your WiFi is off?

I've seen the issue on multiple Android devices with WiFi turned off that have an app called "History".

Can others see your history? If not, how can this be avoided? Is there anything similar to a "history" for Google Play Services? (I have my apps saved but that's it.) No, unless someone is logging you out in which case the apps can see whatever they need to. It's a bit like asking if your browsing session can be seen on a unsecure connection.

How do I hide browsing history from WiFi owner?

I'm the WiFi owner on my wireless network at work.

I need to hide all browsing activity from my guests, who all pay for internet access.

The problem is that all my Mac laptops have a "Restrictions" feature which blocks web sites (and apps), but I would prefer not to. But when looking at the privacy settings of my laptops, it's always greyed out and says that my browsing history is being shared. Is there any way to hide all of my browsing history so that none of my guests can see anything?
On Windows, this would be easily done. I just wouldn't enter any websites or apps as their favorites in any "browser" window, and it'd work perfectly (of course, they'd still be able to find my bookmarks through the "web search", but I assume my guests don't know how).

I used to use Google Inbox in the past. Unfortunately it doesn't work in Yosemite. So it's time to use some other app. As we know, if you're the owner, it means that you are the only one who has admin permission on the computer. If the users share a MacBook with you, they will have admin rights as well. So you may consider using incognito. They might not even notice it's incognito since you have access to your home network and your home network is secured by an encrypted SSL connection and you could access your account and see if it is indeed 'incognito'. It's more of an idea than a solution since there is no way to really ensure that it will work. The app was created because it actually works in the sense that the user won't be able to check out your search history. However it's up to you to decide if this is something you want. In my opinion, it'll save time and make surfing the internet safer.
