Microsoft always finds ways to innovate and give its users more facilities, and more ways to be efficient in their activities. Timeline is the perfect example of the ways Microsoft has to make your life easier, by leaving a history of activity at your fingertips.

What is Windows 10 Timeline?

Before explaining how to perform this simple procedure, you should know exactly what Timeline is. This is a feature that Microsoft introduced with the Windows 10 2018 Update, and is characterized by being especially focused on productivity, more than any other previous update.

Among the benefits that Timeline offers is the possibility of reviewing a history of the activity you have had in the system during the last 30 days. And best of all, it can be synced across multiple Windows 10 or Android devices so you have it on hand at all times.

Another very positive aspect of Windows 10 Timeline is that you can delete the activity history very easily; as simple as activating it. So if you are worried about someone checking it, you can forget about that once you turn off Timeline.

Previously, this wonderful tool only allowed synchronization with Microsoft Edge, Microsoft’s browser. However, it is now available to sync all the pages you visit using Google Chrome as well. In the next section, we will tell you how to activate it so you can start enjoying it.

Steps to make Google Chrome history appear in Windows 10 Timeline

If you have already downloaded Windows 10 on your PC, in order to synchronize your Google Chrome history in the Timeline you need an extension called ‘Web Activities’. You can easily get it from the Chrome Web Store, so you will see that it is completely official and not a hack.

Once you have installed the extension, when you click on the ‘Task View’ button on the Windows 10 taskbar, you will see that the pages you have visited using Google Chrome now appear. It would be ideal if you do the whole process with the latest version of Chrome available.

There are some details that you should take into account. First of all, to achieve this synchronization you must have logged in with your Microsoft account in Windows 10. And if you wanted to have it also on your Android device, you would have to log in to it as well.

On the other hand, as is evident, you must have the Windows 10 Timeline activated on your PC to be able to use this Google Chrome extension. But you should not worry about that, in the next section, we will explain in great detail how you can achieve it in the fastest and easiest way.
