How to Manage Browsing History on Safari for iPad

Protect your privacy on your mobile device

remember browsing history safari

What to Know

  • Open Safari . Select the Bookmarks icon.
  • Choose the Clock icon to open the History pane displaying the list of sites visited during the past month.
  • Select Clear and indicate which entries to delete using one of the four options: The last hour, Today, Today and yesterday, and All Time.

This article explains how to manage browsing history on Safari for iPad, including how to view and delete the iPad Safari history, cookies, and stored website data. This article applies to all iPad devices with iOS 10 or iPadOS 13 or later. The process for managing browser history in Safari on an iPhone is slightly different.

How to View and Delete Your iPad Browser History in Safari

Reviewing your iPad browser history is a straightforward process. Safari stores a log of websites you visit along with other related components, such as the cache and cookies. These elements enhance your browsing experience, but you may want to delete your browsing history for privacy reasons.

You can manage your web browsing history on the iPad in two ways. The easiest option is to do it directly in Safari:

Open the Safari web browser.

Select the Bookmarks icon (it looks like an open book) at the top of the screen. 

Select the clock icon to open the History pane. A list of sites visited over the past month appears.

To delete a single website from the browser history, swipe left on its name.

Select  Clear at the bottom of the panel to reveal four options: The last hour, Today, Today and yesterday, and All time.

Select your preferred option to remove the browsing history from your iPad and all connected iCloud devices.

How to Delete History and Cookies From the iPad Settings App

Deleting the browser history through Safari doesn't remove all the data it stores. For a thorough cleaning, go to the iPad Settings app. You can also delete the browsing history and cookies from the Settings app. Clearing the history this way deletes everything Safari saved.

Select the gear icon on the Home screen to open the iPad Settings .

Scroll down and select Safari .

Scroll through the list of settings and select  Clear History and Website Data to delete the browsing history, cookies, and other cached website data.

Select  Clear to confirm, or select Cancel to return to the Safari settings without removing any data.

How to Delete Stored Website Data on iPad

Safari sometimes stores additional website data on top of a list of web pages you visited. For example, it can save passwords and preferences for frequently visited sites. If you want to delete this data but don't want to clear the browsing history or cookies, selectively delete specific data saved by Safari using the iPad Settings app.

Open the iPad Settings app.

Scroll to the bottom of the Safari settings screen and select Advanced .

Select  Website Data to display a breakdown of the data each website currently stores on the iPad.

Select Show All Sites to display the expanded list if necessary.

Select  Remove All Website Data  at the bottom of the screen to delete the site data at once, or swipe left on individual items to clear items one at a time.

How to view and clear your web browsing history in Safari on iPhone or iPad

Easily wipe your browsing history in Apple's Safari web browser in seconds.

How to find your web-browsing history

How to clear your web browsing history.

Clearing your browsing history on iPhone and iPad in Safari has been a straightforward affair for years now.

Sometimes, you may want a fresh start with your web browsing — perhaps to get rid of some history that may bring up a memory you'd rather forget as you type in a website URL in the address bar.

Apple makes this feature very easy to access on both the iPhone and iPad by offering two ways to clear your history. So with this in mind, here's how you can do just that and make a fresh start in Safari .

Viewing your web history in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 is very easy to do — and it's all done from Safari.

  • In Safari, tap the Bookmarks button in the toolbar that's below the address bar.
  • Tap the History icon in the upper right corner. Here, you can view your entire web history.

To search for bookmarks, tap the Bookmarks button in the toolbar at the bottom of the app, then select the Bookmark icon.

  • Use the History search bar to find previously viewed pages.

To find History, tap the History menu. Then use the search to find previously viewed information.

If the time calls to wipe most or all of your web browsing history in Safari, here's how to do it on both iPhone and iPad.

To note, the below steps will be the same if you attempt to wipe your web browsing history on an iPhone 15 Pro Max , and an iPad Mini 6 for example.

  • In Safari, tap the Bookmarks button.
  • Select the History icon in the upper right corner.
  • Tap Clear and select how much history you'd like to clear: the last hour, the last day, 48 hours' worth, or all recorded history.

One more thing… A feature no one talks about

Privacy on the web matters more than ever in these modern times. Websites store the pages you click on, especially when you sign into a page that can contain personal information about you.

It's great to have a feature like this in Safari — but it would be good to have this automated. To tell Apple's web browser to automatically clear history after 24 hours would be very useful, as you wouldn't leave a trail behind.

Regardless, it's still a good feature, and one you should use every week.

How to Check Your Safari History on iPhone 12: A Step-by-Step Guide

Checking your Safari history on an iPhone 12 is a breeze. In less than a minute, you can find what websites you’ve visited, when you visited them, and how often. All you need to do is open Safari, tap the book icon, and voilà – your browsing history is at your fingertips.

Step by Step Tutorial on How to Check Your Safari History on iPhone 12

Before we dive into the steps, it’s important to note that checking your Safari history can help you find that website you forgot to bookmark or even help you keep tabs on your browsing habits. Let’s get started.

Step 1: Open Safari

Open the Safari app on your iPhone 12.

Opening Safari is as simple as tapping on the Safari icon on your home screen. It’s the one that looks like a blue compass. If you can’t find it, swipe down on your home screen and use the search bar to locate it.

Step 2: Tap the Book Icon

At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a book icon. Go ahead and tap it.

The book icon is your gateway to your bookmarks, reading list, and, most importantly, your history. It’s typically located on the bottom bar of your Safari screen. If you don’t see it, make sure you’re on the main Safari page and not in a new tab.

Step 3: Select the Clock Icon

Once you’re in the bookmarks menu, you’ll see a clock icon at the top. That’s your history tab.

The clock icon represents your browsing history. It’s where Safari keeps a record of every website you’ve visited, organized by date. Tapping on this icon will show you a list of all the sites you’ve been to on your iPhone 12.

Step 4: Browse Your History

Now, you can scroll through your history to find the websites you’ve visited.

Your browsing history will be displayed in reverse chronological order, meaning the most recent sites you’ve visited will be at the top. You can scroll down to see older entries. Tapping on any entry will take you directly to that webpage.

After completing the steps, you’ll have successfully accessed your Safari browsing history on your iPhone 12. From here, you can revisit old sites, clear your history, or keep it as a record of your browsing habits.

Tips for Checking Your Safari History on iPhone 12

  • If you want to clear your history, there’s an option at the bottom of the history page. Remember, once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
  • You can also search your history if you’re looking for something specific. Just pull down on the history list to reveal the search bar.
  • If you’re concerned about privacy, consider using Private Browsing mode in the future, which doesn’t save your history.
  • Keep in mind that if you’re signed into iCloud, your history may be synced across your devices.
  • If you can’t find your history, it’s possible that the settings have been changed to clear history automatically, or someone else with access to your iPhone may have cleared it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can i recover deleted safari history on iphone 12.

Once you’ve cleared your Safari history, it’s permanently deleted from your iPhone and cannot be recovered.

Can I check my Safari history from another device?

Yes, if you’re signed into the same iCloud account, your Safari history is synced across all your Apple devices.

How far back does Safari history go?

Safari keeps a record of your browsing history for at least one month. However, it may store history for up to a year depending on your settings and available space.

Does Safari history show websites visited in Private Browsing mode?

No, Private Browsing mode does not save any history, so those websites will not appear in your history.

Can I stop my Safari history from syncing across my devices?

Yes, you can stop syncing by going to your iCloud settings and turning off Safari syncing.

  • Open Safari.
  • Tap the Book Icon.
  • Select the Clock Icon.
  • Browse Your History.

Knowing how to check your Safari history on your iPhone 12 is a handy skill that allows you to keep track of your digital footprint. Whether you need to find that one website you forgot to bookmark or you’re just curious about your browsing patterns, your history can tell you a lot. Remember, your browsing history can also be a privacy concern, so make sure to manage it according to your needs, whether that’s clearing it regularly or using Private Browsing mode. Stay savvy with your browsing, and you’ll be a pro at navigating your digital world. And that’s how you check your Safari history on iPhone 12!

Clear your browsing history

You can remove all records that Safari keeps of where you’ve browsed during a period of time you choose. If your Mac and your other devices have the iCloud Safari feature turned on, your browsing history is removed from all of them. Clearing your browsing history in Safari doesn’t clear any browsing histories kept independently by websites you visited.

Open Safari for me

Choose History > Clear History and Website Data, then click the pop-up menu and choose how far back you want your browsing history cleared.

When you clear your history, Safari removes data it saves as a result of your browsing, including:

History of webpages you visited

The back and forward list for open webpages

Top Sites that aren’t marked as permanent

Frequently visited site list

Cookies and website data saved while visiting webpages

Recent searches

Icons for open webpages

Snapshots saved for open webpages

List of items you downloaded (downloaded files aren’t removed)

Websites added for Quick Website Search

Websites that asked to use your location

Websites that asked to send you notifications

Websites with plug-in content you started by clicking a Safari Power Saver notice

Safari for iOS provides a convenient way to keep track of your browsing history. You can use it to call up web pages quickly you’ve visited.

Reviewing your browsing history can retrace your steps, saving you the arduous task of finding the data from scratch. This article covers how to see your history in Safari. Check out how to do that below.

How To View History in Safari on a PC, Tablet, or Mobile Device

How to View History in Safari on an iPhone

Safari stores your browser activity, making it possible to revisit sites at a later date. You could either view your most recent history or check out the entire list of previously visited websites. This is how to do that.

You can now see your history in Safari. If you signed in to your device using the same Apple ID that you use on your other Apple devices, that history would also be displayed on your Mac.

Can You View History From Private Browsing?

Private Browsing is a feature that prevents Safari from storing information on sites you have visited. It ensures there’s no record of your online activity, including passwords or autofill information. It also prevents iCloud from storing data on any tabs that you open. To provide an additional layer of privacy, Safari prevents sites and content providers from tracking you. Any cookies you might have picked up are deleted once you close the tab.

This means that Safari doesn’t store your browsing history when you activate Private Browsing. You will therefore be unable to view it in the future.

How to Clear History in Safari

If your Apple device is lagging or otherwise misbehaving, you might consider clearing your browsing data. This is how to do that.

Your browsing data will now be removed from your device.

Tips for Managing Safari History

Managing your Safari history goes beyond simply accessing your browsing data; it involves maintaining privacy, optimizing performance, and streamlining your browsing experience. Here are some valuable tips for effectively managing your Safari history:

Regularly Clear Your History

Regularly clearing your browsing history can help protect your privacy and free up storage space on your device. Safari allows you to clear your history from the last hour, today, today and yesterday, or all time. By periodically clearing your history, you can ensure that your browsing habits remain private and reduce the clutter of stored data.

Use Private Browsing Mode

Safari offers a Private Browsing mode that prevents the browser from storing your browsing history, cookies, and other site data. This mode is ideal for sensitive browsing sessions, such as online banking or researching confidential topics. To activate Private Browsing, simply open a new private window by clicking on "File" in the top menu bar and selecting "New Private Window."

Manage Website Data

In addition to browsing history, Safari also stores website data, including cookies, cache, and local storage. Managing this data can help optimize your browsing experience and address potential privacy concerns. You can access this feature by clicking on "Safari" in the top menu bar, selecting "Preferences," and navigating to the "Privacy" tab. From there, you can manage website data and remove stored information for specific websites.

Sync History Across Devices

If you use Safari across multiple Apple devices, such as an iPhone, iPad, and Mac, you can enable iCloud syncing to ensure that your browsing history is consistent across all devices. This feature allows you to seamlessly pick up where you left off on a different device and access the same browsing history, providing a cohesive browsing experience.

Utilize Bookmarks

To efficiently manage your browsing history, consider using bookmarks to save important websites for future reference. By organizing your bookmarks into folders and categories, you can easily revisit frequently accessed websites without relying solely on your browsing history. This approach can help declutter your history while maintaining quick access to essential webpages.

By implementing these tips, you can effectively manage your Safari history, enhance your privacy, and optimize your browsing experience. Whether you prioritize privacy, performance, or convenience, understanding how to manage your browsing history empowers you to make the most of your Safari experience.

Get Rid of Your Safari Browsing History: Quick and Easy

Elliot V. King

Many people worry a lot about their online privacy in the digital age we live in now. People need to take steps to protect their privacy while surfing the web because more and more personal information is being shared and stored online.

Safari is one of the most popular browsers. Millions of people all over the world use it. Apple made this browser, which is known for its easy-to-use interface, fast browsing speed, and security features. But, as with any browser, users still need to be aware of possible privacy threats.

This article’s goal is to teach people how important it is to protect their privacy while they are browsing, and to give them tips on how to do so when using Safari. We will talk about the different privacy settings Safari has and how users can use them to make sure their online privacy is safe.

Uncovering the Secrets of Safari Browsing History

Safari

Browsing history is a list of all the websites and web pages that a person who uses a web browser has been to. This information is saved on the device that was used to browse, so the user can easily go back to websites or web pages they have already seen.

What is Stored in Safari Browsing History

Safari stores its browsing history in a database on the device. This database keeps track of the URL, title, date, and time of each site that was visited. It also has information about how often people visit each website and how long they stay there. This information can be helpful for someone who wants to quickly go back to a website they have recently visited, but it can also be a privacy concern.

How Browsing History Affects your Privacy

There are several ways that your browsing history can affect your privacy. For example, if someone uses a computer that is shared, it is easy for someone else who uses the same computer to look at their browsing history and see the websites they have visited. This can be especially scary if the person has been to websites that have private or sensitive information on them.

Some websites may also use tracking technologies like cookies to learn about how a person uses the site. This information can be used to make a profile of the person’s interests and behavior, which can then be sold to advertisers or used for targeted advertising.

Last but not least, government agencies or law enforcement can also look at your browsing history as part of an investigation. In this case, the history of what you have been looking at can be used as evidence in court or as part of an investigation into a crime.

People can protect their privacy by regularly clearing their browsing history or by using private browsing mode when they visit personal or sensitive websites. They can also use privacy-focused web browsers or add-ons that block tracking technologies and add more privacy features to their browsers.

Deleting Browsing History on Safari

Deleting Safari Browsing History

Getting rid of Safari’s browsing history is an important way to protect your privacy and keep your device running smoothly. Your browsing history is a list of the websites and pages you have been to, as well as the date and time of each visit. This article will talk about two ways to delete your Safari browsing history: the Quick and Easy Method and the Advanced Method.

Quick and Easy Method

1. Clearing Recent History

This is the fastest and easiest way to get rid of your Safari browsing history. Follow these steps to do this:

  • On your Mac or iOS device, open Safari.
  • Select “Clear History” from the “History” menu.
  • In the window that pops up, choose whether you want to clear the last hour, today, today and yesterday, or all of history.
  • Click the button that says “Clear History.”

This will get rid of everything you have looked at on Safari recently.

2. Clearing Specific Websites

If you want to get rid of the history of certain websites, you can do so by doing the following:

  • Select “Show History” from the “History” menu.
  • Find the website you want to delete in the History window and right-click on it (or hold down the Control key and click).
  • Choose “Delete” from the menu that appears.
  • Repeat the steps for each site you want to get rid of from your browser’s history.

Advanced Method

In this method, we will talk about how to delete your cookies, cache, and other browsing data, as well as your browsing history.

1. Clearing Cookies and Cache

Cookies are small text files that sites you visit put on your device. They are used, among other things, to remember your preferences and log-in information. Cache is the name for the temporary files that your browser stores on your device to speed up the loading of sites you visit often. Follow these steps to clear Safari’s cookies and cache:

  • Select “Preferences” from the “Safari” menu (or “Settings” on iOS devices).
  • Click on the “Privacy” tab in the “Preferences” (or “Settings”) window.
  • Click the “Manage Website Data” or “Website Data” button on your iOS device.
  • In the window that pops up, choose the cookies and cache you want to get rid of and click “Remove.”
  • Repeat the steps for each site whose cookies and cache you want to get rid of.

2. Clearing Other Browsing Data

You might also want to get rid of saved passwords, form data, and your download history. Follow these steps to clear this information from Safari:

  • Click the “Remove Now” button after checking the boxes next to the types of data you want to get rid of.

What Could be Preventing Me from Deleting Safari History 

Why Can't I delete Safari History

You might not be able to delete Safari history on your iOS device for a number of reasons. Some of the most common ones are:

  • Restrictions: If your device is set up to have restrictions, you might not be able to clear Safari’s history. To see if restrictions are on, go to “Settings” > “General” > “Restrictions” and make sure that “Safari” is not turned off. If that is the case, you will not be able to get rid of your history.
  • iCloud Sync: If you have iCloud sync turned on for Safari, your browsing history may be shared across all of your devices. To see if iCloud sync is turned on, go to “Settings” > “Your Name” > “iCloud” and make sure that “Safari” is turned on. If so, you will need to delete your history on all of your devices to get rid of it completely.
  • Private Browsing Mode: If you were using Private Browsing mode when you went to certain websites, those sites will not be saved in your history. Look for the “Private” icon in the top left corner of the Safari window to see if you are in Private Browsing mode.
  • Third-Party Software: It is possible that some third-party software is making it hard for you to delete Safari’s history. For example, you might not be able to clear your history if you have parental control software. If you think this is the case, try turning off the software or uninstalling it, and then try to delete your history again.
  • iOS Software Problem: Sometimes, you might not be able to delete your Safari history because of a problem with your iOS software. If you have tried all of the above steps and still can not delete your history, try restarting your device or updating to the latest version of iOS.

Tips for Maintaining Privacy while Browsing

Maintaining Privacy while Browsing

Maintaining privacy while browsing is an important part of using the internet, especially in the modern world where personal information and online activities are valuable commodities. In this section, we will talk about three things you can do to keep your browsing private: regularly clearing your browsing history, using “incognito mode,” and installing plugins that protect your privacy.

Regularly Clearing Browsing History

Your browsing history is a list of the websites you visit, the pages you look at, and the links you click on while using the internet. A good way to protect your privacy is to clear your browsing history often. When you clear your browsing history, you get rid of all the evidence of what you did online and stop other people from seeing what you did. By clearing your browsing history, you can also free up space on your device and make your web browser run better.

To clear your browsing history, you need to go to your web browser’s settings or options. Different browsers have slightly different steps, but the main steps are the same. For example, in Google Chrome, you can click on the three dots in the upper right corner, choose “History,” and then click on “Clear browsing data.” In Mozilla Firefox, you can click on the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner, choose “History,” and then click on “Clear Recent History.”

Using Incognito Mode

Incognito mode, which is also called “private browsing,” is another way to keep your browsing private. When you use “incognito mode,” your web browser does not keep track of what you do online. This means that your browsing history, cookies, and cache will not be saved, and other people will not be able to see them.

Incognito mode is helpful when you want to keep your online activities private, like when you are shopping for gifts or researching sensitive topics. To use incognito mode, you have to go to your web browser’s settings or options and choose the incognito mode option. If you click on the three dots in the upper right corner of Google Chrome, you can choose “New Incognito Window.” If you click on the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of Mozilla Firefox, you can choose “New Private Window.”

Installing Privacy-Focused Plugins

Plugins that focus on privacy are software tools that make your web browser’s privacy features better. To protect your privacy, they can block trackers, stop data collection, and encrypt your data. There are a lot of privacy-focused plugins for different web browsers, and they are easy to install from the store for that browser.

For instance, the Privacy Badger plugin stops third-party trackers from getting your information without your permission. The HTTPS Everywhere plugin encrypts your information so that it can not be read by others. The uBlock Origin plugin blocks ads and trackers, making your online experience and privacy better.

Final Notes

Getting rid of your Safari browsing history is easy and quick, and it can help you keep your privacy and safety online. If you follow the steps above, you will be able to get rid of all traces of your online activity, keeping your sensitive information safe. Clearing your Safari browsing history is an important part of managing your online presence, whether you are worried about privacy, want to free up space on your computer, or just want to start over.

People Also Asked

A lot of our readers have been worried about privacy and the need to clear their Safari browsing history. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we have gotten about this subject:

Can I delete specific items from my history instead of clearing everything?

Yes, you can choose what to delete from your history in Safari instead of deleting everything. To do this, go to the “History” menu, find the item you want to delete, and click “Remove” or “Delete.”

Is there a way to prevent Safari from keeping a record of my browsing history?

Use “Private Browsing” to stop Safari from keeping track of what you have been looking at. When you turn on Private Browsing, Safari will not remember the websites you visit, your search history, or any AutoFill information. To use Private Browsing, click “File” and choose “New Private Window” from the menu.

What happens to my saved passwords and autofill information when I clear my history?

When you clear your history in Safari, you will also lose any saved passwords and autofill information. But you can still find your saved passwords in the “Passwords” section of the “Settings” app, and you can get your autofill information back by putting it in again in Safari.

Step by Step Tutorial on How to Clear Safari History

Before we begin, understand that doing these steps will remove your browsing history from Safari on your iPhone 15. This means your past web activity will no longer be accessible through your browser.

Step 1: Open Settings

Firstly, open the ‘Settings’ app on your iPhone 15. This is where most of your phone’s configurations are managed.

The Settings app is the grey gear icon typically found on your home screen. If you can’t find it, you can also swipe down on your home screen and search for ‘Settings’.

Step 2: Scroll to Safari

In the Settings menu, scroll down until you see ‘Safari’ and select it. This will take you to the settings specific to your Safari web browser.

You may need to scroll a bit to find Safari, as it’s usually nestled among the apps in alphabetical order in your settings.

Step 3: Clear History and Website Data

Next, scroll down in the Safari settings until you see the ‘Clear History and Website Data’ option. Tap on this to proceed with clearing your history.

This option is typically towards the bottom of the Safari settings menu. If it is greyed out, it may mean there’s already no history to clear, or your device is in a restricted mode that doesn’t allow clearing history.

Step 4: Confirm Your Action

Finally, a pop-up window will ask you to confirm that you want to clear your history. Tap ‘Clear History and Data’ to confirm.

Be certain before you tap as this action cannot be undone. Once you clear your history, it’s gone for good.

Additional Information

Now that you know how to clear your Safari history on your iPhone 15, here are a few extra nudges to enhance your understanding. Remember, when you clear your history, you’re also saying goodbye to your cookies and cache. These are little pieces of data that websites store on your device to remember your preferences and speed up your browsing experience. While clearing them can help with privacy and performance, it can also mean you’ll lose some personalized settings on websites you visit frequently.

Another important tip is to consider using Private Browsing mode in Safari when you don’t want your history to be saved. This feature allows you to browse without Safari keeping track of the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information. It’s the incognito mode of iPhones and can be accessed from the tabs screen in Safari.

Lastly, if you’re looking to clear history for specific sites rather than all your browsing data, Safari allows you to do this too. Just go to the Safari settings, tap on ‘Advanced’, choose ‘Website Data’, and then you can remove data for individual websites.

  • Open Settings
  • Scroll to Safari
  • Clear History and Website Data
  • Confirm Your Action

Frequently Asked Questions

Will clearing my safari history log me out of websites.

Yes, when you clear your history, cookies and other site data are also erased, which means you’ll be logged out of most websites.

How often should I clear my Safari history?

It depends on your personal preference and browsing habits. Some people clear it daily, while others do so weekly or monthly.

Is there a way to automatically clear my history?

No, as of now, there’s no setting to automatically clear Safari history on iPhone 15. It must be done manually.

Can I recover my Safari history after clearing it?

No, once the Safari history is cleared, it cannot be recovered.

Will clearing Safari history delete my bookmarks?

No, clearing your history does not delete your bookmarks or reading list items.

Your online privacy is crucial, and clearing your Safari history on your iPhone 15 is a simple but effective way to maintain it. Whether you’re doing it for performance reasons, to free up space, or to keep your browsing private, it’s a good habit to adopt.

Remember, technology is here to serve us and our needs for convenience and security. Keep exploring, but do it wisely—your Safari journey is yours to command.
