Did you know that your browser history just might be 'accessible' from devices other than just your phone? Like maybe a laptop, or tablet or desktop that you've used to log into your Google (and others?) accounts?

I do now.

Ya. Did u know I can log onto the Internet on the phone and view what the iPad and or iMac are currently on, and their history.

Things to watch out for.

My wife's currently logged onto her Fitbit account on the iMac, and has a beer dip recipe open on the iPad.

Put your phone on private browsing mode, or anyone with access to paired devices can check on you.

Creepy kinda I think.

Or don't give anyone else access to your paired devices.

I didn't know what a paired device was yesterday. I guess I still don't.

My lesson didn't come from 'my paired device' so much as someone else's device(s) that I had logged on to. I think.

Huh...

I dunno, I have my laptop and phone... I can check each of those from the other. The gf has a couple laptops and phone... she probably doesn't know what to do with any of it, but if she figures it out she's only gonna see her own stuff.

I make sure I'm the only one with access to my laptop, my work desktop (well, I guess they could log in under another user), or my phone. All are locked at all times.

Just seems like a smart way to operate.

Calling bullshiat on the Hello Kitty. That was you. I recall you even used it as your avatard for a while.
