30 days limit Safari history in iOS

Safari on iOS appears to only display the last 30 days of browser history, with no options that I can find to change this behaviour. On Mac OS Safari it gives you the option to Show All History, as well as settings for how to set when history is deleted (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, manually). These options are missing from iOS.

I was disappointed that iOS 12 doesn't seem to change anything - you still can't display more than 30 days of history in Safari in iOS. Why not? I want to be able to control how my device operates. I have a specific use case for wanting to retain/display browser history for a longer period of time (ideally manually or at least a year). I have Safari linked to my iCloud account and all my history is retained and displayed on Safari of Mac OS, but I also want it displayed on my iPhone and iPad.

Chrome does this with no trouble at all, but Apple still won't allow any other browser but Safari to be the default!

Apple, please add this feature in to give flexibility to how users manage their content needs and devices etc.

If anyone knows of something I'm missing or a workaround (without jailbreaking the phone) please leave a comment.

  • Safari history is not deleting according to its own settings Hi! I have set the settings in safari on my mac to remove objects from history after one day. Still, the history is kept for several days, basically until I delete it. At first I thought it was the history from my iphone that showed up on the mac (because the iOS safari does not have that setting), but also history from browsing that I did on the mac is kept. I know I can manually delete history, but why is Safari not deleting the history like it's supposed to? If this is an error in Safari, is there any way for me to reinstall Safari? 7148 2

How to clear browsing history on Safari on iPhone or Mac

You can clear your Safari browsing history on both iOS and Mac

As tracking goes, Safari keeping your browsing history is less about privacy-busting security and more about just being useful. It's your history that means Safari remembers where to go to when you choose forward and back within a site, for instance.

It's also how Safari is able to offer you a list of sites that you regularly go to, on account of how handy it is to be able to back to them with a click. History also does keep things you may not expect, though, such as a list of items you've downloaded.

If you don't want that, though, or you're just fed up of Safari going to site addresses you haven't looked at in years, you can wipe the whole browsing history.

On a Mac, you can also wipe, for instance, just the last hour's browsing history. So if you share Safari and it's someone's special birthday coming up, you can avoid them inadvertently finding out you plan to surprise them with dance lessons.

Go to History, Clear History, and then choose how far back you want your browsing cleared

How to clear search history on Safari on Mac

  • In Safari, choose the History menu
  • Select Clear History from the very bottom of the menu
  • In the dialog box that appears, choose from clearing the last hour , today , today and yesterday , or all history
  • Click on Clear History

Alternatively, within Safari you can press Command-Y and the current page will be replaced by a history list. There's a Clear History... button toward the top right.

Clicking on that gives you exactly the same dialog about choosing how far back you want to clear your browsing history. But this page does also give you one extra option — the ability to delete one specific item.

How to clear one item from Safari search history on Mac

  • In Safari, press Command-Y
  • From the long list, click once on a history item to select it
  • Right-click to bring up a menu, then choose Delete

Alternatively, if you select one, two, or more items in the history list, you can then press the Delete key to remove them all.

You can remove your takeaway habits from Safari, we're not judging you.

That kind of precision removal is only possible on your Mac, not on iOS . However, whether it's precision or wholesale clearing of your history, though, there is a way to replicate it on iOS.

If you have set iCloud to share your Safari history, then just doing this on your Mac also removes the history from your iPhone, and iPad.

Otherwise, you're stuck with going to your iOS device. And then with clearing the entire history.

How to clear search history on iPhone

  • Go to Settings on your iOS device
  • Tap on Safari
  • Scroll down to Clear History and Website Data
  • Tap that, then tap Clear History and Data to confirm

One important thing to note is that you can't selectively remove, say, today's browsing history on the iPhone or iPad . It's all or nothing, with iOS.

Clearing your Safari history is all or nothing on iOS

What you leave behind

Clearing your history like this does remove the list of sites and pages you've visited. It does mean you can't go back to that site you read last Tuesday, not without remembering what it was and going there yourself.

What it doesn't remove, though, is the information that gets used by something like AutoFill. If you have your address, for instance, and you're used to online forms being filled out with it, you've still got that feature.

You've also still got anything you downloaded. It's purely that Safari won't keep the list of downloads.

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.

iPhone 13 mini in hand

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

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 manage Safari Browsing History

Click History Tab

You can also prevent Safari from tracking your browsing history. Let us quickly dive into this too.

Prevent Safari From Tracking Your Browsing History on Mac

Suppose you prevent Safari from tracking the history of the websites you visited. In that case, it means that Safari cannot save any record of the searches you perform or the websites you visit. How can you do this?

2.  Navigate to click Safari in the Menu Ba r .

That is not all. Sometimes, you might not want your Safari Browser to save your browsing history, website data, or even cookies. Using the private browsing mode is the solution to this.

Click Page Tab

3. Switch the page option to Private .

Keeping your browsing history private is very important, but in some situations, you may have visited a website by mistake or you don´t want another person to see that you visited the website. In this situation, the best thing you should do is delete the individual website from your Browsing history. Let me quickly show you how to do this:

Delete Individual Websites From Your Browsing History for Mac

To delete individual items or websites from your Safari Browsing history, follow these very easy steps:

1.  Open your Safari Browser .

2.  Click on the History tab in the Menu bar

3.  Select the Show All History tab

Click Show All History

4.  Find the website you want to remove and Right-click   on it.

2.  Click the history tab at the bottom right corner of the screen of the browser.

3.  Look for the website you want to delete from your history and swipe left on it.

Swipe left the website and delete

4.  Finally, Tap the Delete  option.

Yeah! You have successfully deleted individual websites from your browsing history. But if you use Safari on multiple devices of yours such as iPhone, Mac, and maybe your iPad, iCloud sync can help you to keep all your history synchronized across all the devices you own. This means that you can start browsing on your iPhone and continue later on your Mac. Let me quickly show you how to set this up.

Manage Your Safari Browsing History Across Multiple Devices Using iCloud Sync

To use the iCloud sync feature, you must have iCloud enabled on all the devices you own and they all need to be signed in to the iCloud with the same Apple ID.

If you have Safari iCloud syncing turned on and you clear your history, it will also be cleared from all of your other Apple devices with iCloud sync enabled. How can you enable and disable iCloud sync for your Safari browsing history on your Mac and iPhone?

Manage Your Safari Browsing History Across Multiple Devices Using iCloud Sync on Mac

2. Select Safari > Preferences > iCloud Option

4. Check the checkbox next to Safari to make sure that it syncs across all your devices

To sync your browsing history across certain devices, do this:

5. Click on the Manage Devices Button and select the devices you want to sync with.

6. Click Done  

Manage Your Safari Browsing History Across Multiple Devices Using iCloud Sync on iPhone

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

2.  Click on your name at the top of the settings screen.

Click Your iCloud name

3.  Tap the iCloud option.

Select iCloud

4.  Under Apps Using iCloud , select Safari.

5.  Finally, toggle on the switch next to Safari.

Toggle on the switch next to Safari.

Great! You have successfully enabled iCloud sync for Safari browsing history and it will be updated on all your devices using the same Apple ID when you visit new websites or close an existing Safari tab.

Suppose you’ve carefully followed the methods and steps I’ve provided in this step-by-step guide. In that case, you will have a great edge over efficiently managing your Safari browsing history on one or even multiple devices.

Which of these methods worked for you?  Feel free to share your thoughts here in the comment section. Also, if you are having problems with iCloud syncing on your devices, check out our guide for effective solutions.

How to clear recent history in safari on iphone and ipad.

Want to erase some of your iPhone's browsing history?

Quick Links

How to erase single entries in safari's history list.

Normally, Safari on iPhone and iPad keeps track of which sites you visit in a special History list. While it's possible to completely wipe your history in Settings , you can also erase only more recent history if you'd like. Here's how.

First, open Safari on your iPhone or iPad. Tap the "Bookmarks" button (which looks like an open book). On the iPad, you'll find it in the upper-left corner of the screen beside the address bar. On an iPhone, it's at the bottom of the screen.

In Safari, tap the

In the pop-up that appears (on the left side of the screen on iPad and over the whole screen on iPhone), tap the History tab (which looks like a clock face), and then tap the "Clear" button.

(Don't worry. It won't clear anything yet.)

Tap the

After you tap "Clear," another pop-up will give you yet another choice. You can select "All time," "Today and yesterday," "Today," or "The last hour."

Choosing one of these options will remove your browsing history, cookies, and other browsing data from the point you select until now. For example, if you click "Today," all the browsing history from sites you visited today will disappear, but everything earlier than that will remain on the list.

Tap the option you'd prefer (or you can tap outside the pop-up box to cancel).

After tapping clear, choose which time option you'd like.

If you made a selection from the pop-up list, your browsing history will be cleared accordingly. It's all very quick and handy.

Oh, and one more thing before you go: In Safari's History list, you can also delete individual entries by swiping to the left on them with your finger. When a red "Delete" button appears on the right, tap it.

In Safari's History list, you can swipe any individual entry and delete it.

Using this method, only the single entry you just swiped will be zapped. This can be a nice, laser-focused way of erasing certain history items without having to clear everything at once. Happy browsing!

How to See the Safari History on an iPhone: A Step-by-Step Guide

Seeing the Safari history on an iPhone is a straightforward process. Just open the Safari app, tap the book icon at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the clock icon to view your browsing history. You’ll be able to see a list of all the websites you’ve visited, sorted by date.

After completing this action, you’ll have access to the list of websites you’ve visited using Safari on your iPhone. This can be useful for finding a site you forgot to bookmark, checking what sites were visited on a particular day, or clearing your history for privacy reasons.

Introduction

Browsing the internet on your iPhone is a daily activity for many of us, but how often do we think about our digital footprints? Whether you’re a privacy-conscious individual, a parent wanting to check what your kids have been up to online, or simply trying to find that one website you stumbled upon a few days ago, knowing how to view your Safari history is essential.

Safari, the default browser on all Apple devices, keeps track of all the websites you visit, allowing you to revisit a site whenever you need to. However, not everyone knows how to access this history. This article is for iPhone users of all ages and skill levels who want to learn how to see their Safari history. It’s an important skill that can help you in a variety of situations. Plus, it’s super easy to do!

How to See the Safari History on an iPhone

The following steps will guide you through the process of viewing your Safari history on an iPhone.

Open the Safari app on your iPhone. Upon opening the Safari app, you’ll be greeted with your default homepage or the last page you visited.

Tap the book icon located at the bottom of the screen. This icon will take you to your bookmarks, reading list, and history.

Tap the clock icon to view your browsing history. The clock icon is typically at the top of the list, and tapping it will display all the sites you’ve visited, organized by date.

Additional Information

When browsing through your Safari history, you can tap on any entry to revisit that webpage immediately. Plus, if you’re looking to delete certain parts of your history, you can do that too! Just swipe left on any entry and tap ‘Delete’ to remove it from your history. If you want to clear your entire browsing history, there’s an option for that at the bottom of the history list. Remember, once it’s gone, it’s gone for good, so make sure you really don’t need that history before you delete it.

Additionally, keep in mind that if you’re using iCloud to sync Safari across your devices, your history will be visible on all devices signed into that iCloud account. This is super handy if you want to access a webpage you visited on your Mac from your iPhone, for example. However, if privacy is a concern for you, consider using private browsing mode, which doesn’t save any history.

  • Open the Safari app.
  • Tap the book icon.
  • Select the clock icon to view history.

  • The process for deleting web history is different for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
  • You can use Private Browsing Mode to prevent web history from being saved.

From accessing your bank account on a shared computer to Googling embarrassing queries, there are a number of reasons to want to clear out your search history. Deleting your history on Safari removes your trail of web browsing, but the process also does more than clear out potentially embarrassing websites.

Clearing your history will also remove associated cookies from the web browser, reducing the number of ways you are being tracked online. While clearing your web history only removes cookies from Safari and not third-party websites that already have your data, it can still be helpful to reduce online tracking. Clearing the related cache can also sometimes fix bugs.

Deleting a web history from Safari isn't a terribly complicated process, but the steps are a bit different if you are using a MacBook , iPad , or iPhone . The steps for clearing several web pages and a single website are also different. Some privacy settings can also prevent you from deleting any web history, leaving the buttons you need grayed out.

How to close all Safari tabs on iPhone at the same time

There are also a few tricks that can make the process simpler. For example, if you turn on iCloud for Safari, when you delete the history from your Mac, it will automatically be deleted from your phone and tablet too. If you know you want to delete your web history before you make a single click, you can use Private Browsing Mode instead.

Whether you are a murder mystery writer looking to eliminate search queries that would raise the eyebrows of any detective, or you want to reduce the number of cookies tracking you, this guide will tell you how to delete Safari history in a few simple steps.

How to delete Safari history on a Mac

Safari allows you to delete a lot of web history from a Mac or MacBook at once by allowing you to choose the dates for which you would like to erase. If you want to clear websites from the last hour, last day, last two days or all of your web history, this is the process to use.

  • Open Safari
  • From the top toolbar, click on History , then click Clear History.
  • In the pop-up window, use the drop-down menu to select the time period you want to clear from your history.
  • Click Clear History .

How to delete Safari history on an iPhone or iPad

The steps for clearing out your Safari history on an iPhone is quite different from using a Safari browser on a Mac. But, the process is the same across both iPhones and iPads, so these steps below work for both your phone and tablet.

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Select Safari.
  • Scroll down to the Privacy & Security section and select Clear History and Website Data.
  • On the next page, tap the time frame that you would like to delete the history for.
  • Optional: If you also want to close out of all open websites, tap the toggle for Close All Tabs.
  • Tap Clear History.

How to delete a single website from Safari history

Safari allows you to easily delete websites from the last hour, day, two days, or your entire web history easily. But, if you only want to remove a single website, you'll instead have to access your history, and then select the individual page to remove.

  • Open a Safari browser.
  • From the top toolbar, select History > Show All History. Or, you can use the keyboard shortcut Command + Y.
  • Select the website entry that you wish to delete. If that site was not visited today, you will need to tap on the date that you visited the website to find it or use the search bar at the top.
  • Right-click on the website entry and select delete.

On an iPhone or iPad:

  • Tap the Bookmark icon on the bottom (it looks like an open book).
  • Tap the Clock or History icon at the top of the page.
  • Locate the website that you wish to delete from your history -- your history is organized by the date you visited.
  • On the website you wish to delete, swipe left, then tap on the red trash icon.

How to use private mode in safari.

If you know that you'll want to delete the website that you are about to visit from your history, try using Private Browsing Mode instead. This mode does not save any website history, including search history and autofill information. That means you can do your online banking without going back and deleting your web history when you are done.

To use Private Browsing Mode on a Mac:

  • Open Safari.
  • On the top toolbar, go to File > New Private Window.
  • Use this new private window for browsing. You can quickly see if a Safari browser is Private because the field to type in the URL is dark gray instead of white.

To use Private Browsing Mode on iOS:

  • Tap the tab icon in the bottom left corner.
  • At the bottom of the screen, tap Private (swipe to see all the toppings in this toolbar if you do not see the Private option.)
  • Private browsing will have a dark gray URL field instead of white. To return to regular browsing, repeat the steps but this time swipe back to your open tabs.

How to use picture-in-picture mode in Safari on Mac

How to instantly clear your web history from multiple devices.

With iCloud , Safari can save your web browsing across all the devices that you use with your Apple ID. While that's helpful for quickly recalling a website no matter what device you first opened it with, it also syncs any deletions to the web history across your devices . That means if you delete a web page from your history on a Mac, it will automatically be deleted from your iPhone too -- as long as both devices are logged into the same Apple ID and iCloud for Safari is enabled.

iCloud for Safari can be enabled during the setup process for a new device, but it can also be turned on and off from the Settings app:

  • Tap on your Apple ID or name at the top.
  • Tap on iCloud.
  • Under Apps Using iCloud, select Show All . (If you are running iOS 15 or earlier, you may not see the full list already instead of the Show All option, in which case you can jump to the next step.)
  • Toggle on Safari from the list.

Why can't I clear my Safari history?

In some cases, the buttons that you need to tap to clear your Safari history are gray. But why can't you delete your Safari history, and how do you fix it? Here are a few common reasons why the Safari history options are grayed out:

  • You've already deleted your history and there are no more websites to clear out.
  • Web content restrictions are turned on. Some parental control settings prevent kids and teens from deleting their web history, while other content restrictions can also prevent you from deleting. To access the content restriction options, open the Settings app and go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
  • You are using Private Browsing Mode. This mode does not save your web history, so you have nothing to delete.

14 Safari tips and tricks you absolutely need to know

Can you permanently delete safari history.

Deleting your Safari history makes it difficult for the average person to recover the past websites that you have visited. However, if you are connected to your work or school network, in some cases the network administrator can still see your website access. Deleting your website history also may not fool a trained digital forensics expert during an investigation.

Safari History iPhone – How to See It

posted on March 6, 2023

Your iPhone’s Safari Web browser saves a record of the websites you visit.

This can be a handy tool, particularly if you’ve already read something and want to return to it.

Our post will show you how to access Safari history on iPhone in a few simple steps.

How to See the Safari History on the iPhone 11

  • Start Safari.
  • Tap the book symbol at the bottom of the screen.
  • Tap the clock sign to view your history.

Below is more information on viewing your iPhone’s Safari history, as well as screenshots of these steps. If you’re looking for additional articles about the iPhone, then Asheville ATC can help.

When you use the Web browser on your computer or smartphone without using a private browsing session, the browser retains your browsing history.

When iPhone users are concerned about the browsing history on their device, they typically desire to wipe it. That history, on the other hand, can be useful.

It can help you find an interesting article that you read but can’t remember the address for, or it can help you determine which store had the best cost on a product that you were looking at from a variety of retailers.

When you use your iPhone’s Safari Web browser, it saves a history of all the pages you visit.

Having this history makes returning to a previously visited page much easier, as you can access that history and simply tap on the page that you wish to visit.

Our guide will show you how to find and use your Safari iPhone history quickly.

Related: If your iPhone flashes when you get a text, then this iPhone flash notification article can help you out.

How to Find Your iPhone’s Safari History

The steps in this post were completed on an iPhone 13 running iOS 16.3.1. The identical techniques will work on the majority of other iOS versions and iPhone models.

If you’ve recently upgraded to iOS 16, your address bar may suddenly be at the bottom of the screen. In this situation, your screen may look different from the examples in the guide below. Yet, the buttons for accessing the past remain in the same places.

Step 1: Open the Safari web browser.

open Safari

Step 2: At the bottom of the screen, tap the icon that looks like an open book.

select the book

Step 3: At the top of the screen, click the clock-shaped tab.

how to check Safari history iPhone

Now that you know how to access your iPhone’s Safari history, you can use it to find information that you previously viewed and wanted to double-check or share with someone else.

Your browsing history should now be visible. You can get to the page by tapping on one of the items in the list. Individual Web pages in this history can be erased by swiping left and pressing the Delete button.

The search history of your browser will be combined with the pages you’ve viewed. This means that the terms you typed into the search area at the top or bottom of the screen will also be shown.

Your search terms will display beside domains such as “google.com” or “bing.com” depending on the search engine you use.

Continue reading our tutorial below for more information on finding and using history data in the Safari browser on your iPhone.

Further Information about Checking Safari History on iPhone

It is crucial to understand that while using Private Browsing, Safari does not save your history for pages visited. To switch between regular and private surfing, tap the Tabs icon (two overlapping squares) at the bottom of the screen and select the Private option.

Safari, like other iPhone browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox, does not save browsing history. To see their history, you’d have to open those browsers.

Furthermore, erasing the Safari browsing history will only affect the Safari app’s browsing history. Unless you choose to erase the existing data for those browsers, the history menus of other browsers will remain accessible on your iOS device.

To clear your Safari history, go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data . This will also delete your cookies and log you out of any current accounts you are signed into.

When you delete Safari’s browser history, you will no longer be able to view Safari history for any previous browsing sessions. Safari will only reveal your online browsing history after it has been cleared.

If you haven’t already cleared Safari history, your browser history can be rather big. Typically, the device’s complete history is accessible for 30 days.

How to Search for Safari History on an iPhone

Looking through your iPhone Another exciting thing you can do with it is research safari history.

When you open Safari, click the book icon at the bottom of the screen, then click the History tab at the top of the screen, and you’ll see a “Search History” section.

When you tap inside that field and type a search query, a list of pages from your past with those search terms appears.

This is especially helpful if you remember a single word or term but can’t recollect where you saw it or the name of the website where you saw it.

If you have another browser loaded on your iPhone, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, it will also save history, which you may search through in the same way.

In Chrome, open the browser, tap the three dots in the bottom-right corner, and then tap the History button.

Launch the Firefox iPhone app, tap the three lines in the bottom-right corner, and then select the History option to display the history.

If you're an iPhone user, you know the importance of being able to access the websites you visit. Whether it's for research or entertainment , having quick and easy access to your browsing history can be invaluable.

If you want to search through your browser history quickly and easily, use the Search field at the top-right corner of the window in Safari on your Mac. This will allow you to type in specific keywords or phrases which will help narrow down your results.

It's also important to note that when browsing with Safari for iOS, data such as history, cache, and cookies are stored on your device as well. This data helps deliver faster load times while also providing records of all searches performed while using Safari from an iPhone or iPad. Additionally, this data is what allows web forums to automatically populate when visited again and tailors advertisements specifically for each user based off their past browsing habits.

if you're looking for a way to access information such as websites visited from within Safari for iOS on an iPhone or iPad then press and hold the back arrow button at the bottom of the screen and look thrugh your browser history menu that appears afterwards! And don't forget about searching through it with keywords from within Safari on Mac too!

You can search for specific websites by typing in the Search field at the top-right corner of the window. You can also use this window to view how long ago you visited a certin website, or to quickly jump back to a page you recently visited.

Does Browsing History Get Stored on iPhones?

Yes, browsing history is stored on iPhone. It is stored as part of the data that your iPhone collects when you use its web browser. This includes information such as which websites you have visited, when you visited them, and how long you spent on each site. Additionally, your web browser may store details about the webpages you visited such as images, text and oter elements of the page. This information is stored in a cache and may be used to speed up loading times for returning visitors or to tailor ads to your preferences. Finally, cookies are also stored on your device and can contain data about website visits or preferences.

Recovering iPhone Safari History

Yes, you can recover iPhone Safari history. If you have an iTunes backup of your phone, you can restore that backup to get your deleted Safari history back. To do this, open iTunes and click on your iPhone icon. Then select the ‘Restore Backup' option and choose the file that contains your deleted Safari history. You can also use third-party data recovery software to recover your lost data from an iOS device.

Deleting Safari History on an iPhone

How Long Does iPhone Browsing History Remain Accessible?

Browsing history on an iPhone typically stays visible for the last 30 days. Unfortunately, thre is currently no way to change this behaviour in Safari on iOS, so if you need to view a longer period of time, you'll need to use a third-party app or use Safari on Mac OS. On Mac OS Safari, you can choose to Show All History and also set when history is deleted (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, manually).

Retention Period of Safari History on iCloud

Apple's iCloud stores your Safari browsing history for up to two weeks. This includes all the webpages you have visited, even if you have cleared your browser history manually. It is important to note that this data is stored in iCloud, not on your device itself. After two weeks, it may be deleted or made invisible to tools like Phone Breaker – however, it is important to remain aware that this data may still be stored in iCloud even if it is not visible on your device.

In conclusion, Safari for iPhone and iPad offers a convenient way to view your browsing history. By pressing and holding the back arrow button on the bottom toolbar, you can view all the websites you have visited in an easy-to-access menu. Additionally, search functions allow you to quickly find websites you visited in the past.

Part 4.FAQs about Safari Deleted History Recovery

4.1 how to clear the history on safari.

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

1. Open the Safari browser on your Mac or iOS device.

2. Click on the "History" menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen (on a Mac) or the bottom of the screen (on an iOS device).

3. Select "Clear History" from the dropdown menu.

4. Choose the time range for which you want to clear your history. You can select "the last hour," "today," "today and yesterday," or "all history." Click "Clear History."

This will remove all the browsing history from Safari for the time range you selected. Note that this will also clear your cookies and website data, so you will need to re-enter any login information and preferences for websites that you visit frequently.

4.2 Why can't I clear my history on safari?

If you are unable to clear your browsing history on Safari, there are a few possible reasons why:

Private Browsing is turned on : If you have enabled Private Browsing mode in Safari, your browsing history, cookies, and other data will not be saved. This means that there will be no history to clear. To turn off Private Browsing, go to the Safari menu and click "Private Browsing" to uncheck it.

Restrictions are enabled : If you are using a shared device or have parental controls set up, there may be restrictions in place that prevent you from clearing your browsing history. To check if restrictions are enabled, go to the Settings app on your device and select "Screen Time" (iOS) or "Parental Controls" (Mac). From there, you can adjust the settings as needed.

Syncing is enabled : If you have enabled iCloud syncing for Safari, your browsing history may be synced across multiple devices. This means that clearing the history on one device may not remove it from all devices. To disable syncing, go to the Settings app on your device and select "iCloud" (iOS) or "Apple ID" (Mac). From there, you can disable Safari syncing.

If none of these solutions work, try restarting your device or updating Safari to the latest version. If the issue persists, you may need to contact Apple Support for further assistance.

4.3 How long does safari keep history on iphone/ipad?

By default, Safari on iPhone/iPad keeps your browsing history for 30 days. However, this setting can be changed to keep your browsing history for a longer or shorter period of time, or to prevent Safari from keeping your history at all.

To check or change the browsing history settings on your iPhone/iPad, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your device.

2. Scroll down and select "Safari."

3. Scroll down to the "History" section.

Here you can choose how long Safari should keep your browsing history by selecting from the following options: "All time," "1 year," "6 months," "3 months," or "1 month." Alternatively, you can choose to "Clear History and Website Data" to remove all your browsing history.

Note that if you have turned on Private Browsing mode, your browsing history will not be saved, regardless of your settings. Also, if your device is synced with iCloud, your browsing history may be stored in iCloud and available across all your devices.

Your browser history is a list of the websites you've visited with dates. If you forget the full address of a website you visited recently, it can come in handy to help auto-complete the address.

However, the question arises on how to check history on Safari? Well, today we'll provide you with a solid answer to that question by showing you a couple of ways for viewing and checking your Safari browser history on your iPhone .

how to check history on Safari

Method 1. How to Search Browsing History in Safari App

Method 2. how to view safari browsing history in settings, method 3. how to see deleted safari browsing history on iphone, bonus tips about safari browsing history.

If you’re looking for the easiest way to find Safari browsing history on your iPhone, just go to the Safari app. You’ll find all your browsing history and other useful information. If you use the same Apple ID on other devices, such as your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, then this record will also contain the browsing history on these devices.

However, Safari only displays the last month of browsing history and older entries will be automatically deleted over time as you continue to search the web.

Here are a few easy instructions for checking your browsing history using the Safari app:

On your iPhone’s home page, tap the Safari app icon showing a compass with a red and white needle inside.

Once you have launched the app, a book icon will appear at the bottom of your screen. You should tap this icon and then go to the History section.

Now you have a full list of previous searches and web pages. If you tap on a search result, the page immediately opens in Safari. To search for a specific web page, you’ve recently visited but don’t remember the full address or website name, type the few words into the Search History box on the toolbar at the top of your browser window. The page will appear in the search results.

In addition to accessing Safari browser history directly from the app, you may also get your browser history by going to Settings on your iPhone. When surfing the web, Safari automatically stores information such as your browsing history, cache, and cookies on your hard drive.

The only downside of this method is that the history contains only the root domain of the sites you visited and the amount of data each one stores, but not their visit times or your interactions with them.

To view Safari browsing history on your iPhone from the settings, follow these steps.

On your iPhone, go to the Settings app and scroll down to find Safari.

After that, go to the bottom of the page and look for a tab labeled Advanced . Tap on that.

From the next window, choose Website Data to see a full list of your web history. You can also search for a particular page by typing its name.

Now that you've learned a bit about seeing history on your iPhone, let's move on to how to see deleted Safari browsing history on your iPhone if you've lost it, or if you accidentally deleted it. It's especially frustrating if you forgot to back up your device with iCloud or iTunes.

1. How to Search Browsing History on Mac

As compared to your iPhone's Safari app, which keeps browsing history and data for up to 30 days, Mac stores a record of your browsing history and data for up to one year. Furthermore, your Mac browsing history may include the addresses of websites that you visited on other Apple devices that are linked to the same Apple ID and have Safari option turned on in iCloud preferences.

Here is how you can check what websites you have visited previously in the Safari browser on your Mac:

Launch Safari on your Mac by clicking on the Safari icon in your dock.

At the top of your Safari screen, click History . Select Show All History in the drop-down menu.

2. How to Clear Safari Browsing History on iPhone

If you want to keep your searches to yourself and won't want others to look at them, then you will definitely want to delete or clear history and browsing data on your iPhone.

Tap on the History icon from the upper left corner of the screen.

In the age of Internet privacy concerns, knowing how to check your Safari browser history might seem like a trivial thing, but it’s still important. After all, you never know when you might need this information - perhaps you want to find a website you previously visited, keep track of your searches, or go back and bookmark a page. Either way, the good news is that Safari offers different ways of accessing your browsing history as explained above.

However, if you have accidentally deleted your Safari browser history or lost it suddenly and now you want to recover it, give your last resort to the WooTechy iSeeker data recovery tool. iSeeker makes it easy to recover Safari browsing history on iPhone selectively with the exact date, titles and all bookmarks. So, give it a try and see what it does for you.

Apple Cancels Electric Car Project

Apple has canceled all plans to release an autonomous, electric vehicle, reports Bloomberg . Apple has been working on an Apple Car for more than a decade and invested millions of dollars into development before deciding it was not a viable project.

Work on the ‌Apple Car‌ is winding down and many of the people that were working on the car will move to Apple's artificial intelligence division to work on generative AI under AI chief John Giannandrea.

There are a number of hardware engineers and car designers that were on the ‌Apple Car‌ team, and there will be layoffs. Some of the employees may be able to shift to other divisions within the company.

Earlier this year, there were rumors that the ‌Apple Car‌ project had been scaled back, with Apple abandoning plans for a full driverless car with autonomous capabilities. Apple shifted focus to an electric vehicle with fewer self-driving features, and the vehicle would have been on par with Tesla's technology. Apple was aiming to release the car sometime around 2026, but now those plans have been shelved completely.

News of the ‌Apple Car‌ first surfaced in 2014, and since then, the project has been rife with problems. The focus of the work has changed and evolved multiple times, and Apple has had several leadership changes due to internal strife. Apple Watch chief Kevin Lynch took over the project in 2021 , and he worked to scale down the project while still putting out a viable car.

According to Bloomberg , senior Apple executives made the decision to wind down the ‌Apple Car‌ project in recent weeks.
