Both live in Settings, under Privacy.

Incognito

Turn it on and what you watch is not added to recents, to continue watching or to your history. Turn it off and normal behavior resumes. Nothing already recorded is removed by switching it on.

Clear history

One action wipes recents and playback history across every playlist on the device, after asking you to confirm. Favorites, collections and your layout are untouched.

History is also part of cloud sync. Clearing it on one device clears what has been shared with your other devices too.
