How do you check deleted history on iPhone?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

To be honest, I’ve been in a situation where I needed to check my deleted browsing history on my iPhone. It can be quite frustrating when you accidentally delete something important or if you’re trying to recover some information. Luckily, there are a few methods you can try to check your deleted history on iPhone. Let me walk you through them:

1. Using Safari Settings:
– Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
– Scroll down and tap on “Safari” to access the Safari settings.
– Look for the “Advanced” option and tap on it.
– In the Advanced settings, you’ll find “Website Data” – tap on it.
– Here, you’ll see a list of websites you’ve visited, even if they have been deleted from your browsing history. You can scroll through the list to find the information you’re looking for.

2. Using iCloud:
– If you have iCloud enabled on your iPhone and have synced Safari data, you might be able to recover deleted history through iCloud.
– Open a web browser on your computer and visit icloud.com.
– Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
– Once you’re logged in, click on the “Settings” icon.
– Scroll down and look for the “Advanced” section.
– Under Advanced, click on “Restore Bookmarks.”
– A list of available backups will be displayed. Choose the most recent backup that contains the deleted history you want to recover.
– Click on “Restore” and wait for the process to complete.
– After the restore process is finished, check your iPhone’s Safari app to see if the deleted history has been recovered.

3. Using a Third-Party Data Recovery Tool:
– If the above methods don’t work for you, you can try using a third-party data recovery tool specifically designed for iOS devices.
– There are various data recovery tools available, such as iMobie PhoneRescue, Dr.Fone, or iMyFone D-Back, which can help you recover deleted Safari history.
– Download and install the data recovery tool on your computer.
– Connect your iPhone to the computer using a USB cable.
– Launch the data recovery tool and follow the on-screen instructions to scan your iPhone for deleted data.
– Once the scan is complete, you should be able to preview and recover your deleted Safari history. Select the desired history entries and click on the “Recover” button.

Remember, it’s essential to act quickly when trying to recover deleted Safari history, as the longer you wait, the higher the chance that the deleted data might be overwritten by new data. Also, make sure to regularly back up your iPhone using iCloud or iTunes to avoid losing important data in the future.

I hope one of these methods helps you retrieve your deleted Safari history on your iPhone. Good luck!
