Edited by Kara, Crystal, Eng
Hello. You are watching VisiHow, and in this video I'll show you how to clear your web browser history when using Safari on the iPhone 6. Let's go to Safari. It's a blue icon that looks a bit like a compass. Tap to open Safari.
Steps
- 1To access the browser history click on the icon at the bottom of the screen that looks like an open book.
- 2Since we want to access History, tap "History."This will open the Bookmarks screen with an option to go to Favorites or History.
- 3After you open History, you can see all of the searches, web links, and addresses that you have accessed or opened on the phone.
- 4The very first one is to delete each link individually. To do this, slide your finger from right to left on the link you want to remove. When the red Delete button shows up, press it to delete that item.There are several ways to clean it up.
- 5The second way to clear the history is to press Clear at the very bottom right corner of your screen.
- 6The phone is asking you if you would like to clean the last hour, or clear the whole today, today and yesterday, or clear all of the history.After you do that, a menu will appear from the bottom.
- 7This will take you back to the list of links on the History page, but now all of the other links besides that day's will be on the list.To clear today's history only, tap on Clear Today.
- 8You can press Clear at the bottom right corner again to bring up the options again.
- 9Press Clear Today & Yesterday to remove all history from the current and previous day.
- 10It will now be completely clean, and the links cannot be restored.Tap Clear All History to remove all links from the browser's history.
- 11You can click on Done at the top right corner of your screen to close the History and go back to the browser.
- 12If you need to close all of the pages that you looked through, you have to press the two squares icon in the right bottom corner of your screen.
- 13Click the X in the left top corner of each page to close it. You can pick a page or just delete each one of them.The websites and pages that are open now appear slanted, a bit like a Rolodex.
- 14If you have any other questions on phones, computers, and tech please leave them in the section below. Thank you.This is how clearing the web browser history works on the iPhone 6.
