Privacy concerns: Facebook to launch Clear History tool this year

The much-awaited Clear History tool by Facebook will now be released in the second half of this year. The privacy function is said to be designed to let users wipe information from the social network which it collects about them from third-party apps and websites, reported the CNBC.

The announcement was made by Chief financial officer David Wehner to the audiences at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference.

The Clear History tool was earlier promised in May 2018, prior to Facebook’s F8 developer conference, and still, during that time, it was just a concept designed in a bid to earn the lost trust of the user, BuzzFeed News had said last week in a report on Clear History tool’s shaky development.
