- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap Safari.
- Tap Clear History and Website Data.
- Confirm by tapping Clear History and Data.
This will remove your browsing history, cookies, and other browsing data from Safari. If you use iCloud and have Safari syncing enabled, this action will clear history from all devices signed into the same iCloud account
. If you want to clear specific website data only:
- In Settings > Safari, scroll down to Advanced > Website Data.
- Tap Remove All Website Data and confirm
For clearing history in other browsers like Chrome, open the Chrome app, tap the three dots, go to History , then tap Clear Browsing Data and select the data to delete
. Additionally, you can clear search history from apps like Google by opening the app, accessing your search history, and deleting entries or all history as desired
. This process ensures your browsing and search history are removed from your iPhone, protecting your privacy and freeing up some space.
