How do I clear browsing history on my iPhone?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

To clear your browsing history on your iPhone, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

2. Scroll down and tap on “Safari.”

3. In the Safari settings, you will find the option “Clear History and Website Data.” Tap on it.

4. A prompt will appear asking you to confirm the action. Tap on “Clear History and Data.”

5. Safari will now clear your browsing history, cookies, and other website data.

Please note that clearing your browsing history will remove all the websites you have visited, and clearing cookies will log you out of websites and remove saved login information. However, it can also help improve your device’s performance and protect your privacy.

If you want to clear your cookies without deleting your browsing history, you can follow these steps instead:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

2. Scroll down and tap on “Safari.”

3. Scroll down and tap on “Advanced.”

4. In the Advanced settings, you will find the option “Website Data.” Tap on it.

5. On the next screen, you will see a list of websites that have stored data on your iPhone. To remove all website data, tap on “Remove All Website Data.”

6. A prompt will appear asking you to confirm the action. Tap on “Remove Now.”

7. Safari will now clear all the cookies and website data stored on your device.

Remember that clearing cookies can have an impact on your browsing experience, as it will log you out of websites and remove personalized settings. However, it can also help protect your privacy and improve your device’s performance.

I hope these steps help you clear your browsing history and cookies on your iPhone. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
