If you’re using the Microsoft Launcher experience on your Android phone, you probably noticed that you can now see your timeline activities.
Timeline for Microsoft Launcher is the same feature found on Windows 10, which leverages the Microsoft Graph and allows you to get back to activities (for example, app, document, website) you were working in the past, but now it extends to Android devices. (These activities could have been started on your phone or other devices, such as a desktop, laptop, or tablet that are connected with the same Microsoft account.)
The only problem is that to resume tasks across devices, Microsoft Launcher must make your activities available on your phone, which for many users isn’t a big deal, but for others it can be a privacy or security concern.
In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to disable Timeline available on Microsoft Launcher for Android phones.
