Information
If you work across multiple devices, syncing your Google Chrome profile data can help you manage your history, bookmarks, and other settings across those devices.
What happens when you sync
- You can see and update your synced info on all your devices, like bookmarks, history, passwords, and other settings.
- You'll sign in automatically to Gmail, YouTube, Search, and other Google services. If you were signed in before turning on sync, you'll stay signed in.
- If you change devices (like if you lose your phone or get a new laptop), you'll get all your info back.
- You’ll personalize your experience in other Google products by including your Chrome history with your Web & App Activity.
