To permanently delete your history on your iPhone, you can follow these steps:
1. Go to the Settings app on your iPhone’s home screen.
2. Scroll down and tap on the “Safari” option.
3. In the Safari settings, scroll down to find the “Clear History and Website Data” option and tap on it.
4. A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm the action. Tap on “Clear History and Data” to proceed.
5. Your Safari browsing history, as well as website data, will now be permanently deleted from your iPhone.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your browsing history is completely removed from your device. However, it’s important to note that this only deletes the history and website data from the Safari browser. It does not delete any other stored data or information from other apps on your iPhone.
It’s worth mentioning that clearing your history and website data can also have some side effects. For example, it may sign you out of websites and remove any saved login information. Additionally, clearing your website data may impact the performance of certain websites that rely on stored data for faster loading times.
