How to delete iPhone Chrome search auto complete entries?

On an iPhone 6, using the latest version of Chrome, when I begin to type to do a search, I get a list of previously searched entries. How do I delete these entries?

BEFORE you answer, PLEASE TEST your answer on an iPhone, many people have answered this question, but they answer the question as it relates to Windows computers or Android or Safari, etc. It is very important that you actually test your answer on an iPhone using Chrome before you reply. Chrome iPhone does not have the same menus, etc., as other versions, you can't just reply with how this is done on a desktop computer or windows, etc., the iPhone/Chrome version is different.

I have deleted, all my browsing history, form fill entries, etc., but the search autocomplete will not delete.

iPod nano, Windows 7, I believe I have a iPod 6

BEFORE you answer, PLEASE TEST your answer on an iPhone! Does this actually work on anybodies iPhone? It does not work on mine. Maybe it will prevent future suggestions from being cached but I still get suggestions from past searches.

Open setting in the app (three dots in the upper right corner) > Settings > Privacy > Show suggestions > turn OFF. Then clear Browsing data.

Good luck with that.

Try contacting the vendor.

I have not tested this because I don't use chrome, but it seems you have done the correct steps and since that has failed, I would try to uninstall and reinstall the app. It may be something linked to your Google account though so you want to try doing the same troubleshooting you have done from your browser on your PC.

Good luck!
