If you’ve set up Safari Profiles for different tasks and need to clear the cache or history, there’s no need to delete the entire profile or clear the entire browser history.
In this guide, I’ll show you the easiest steps to clear the history of specific Safari profiles. Let’s look at a scenario where this feature is useful:
Suppose you have two profiles: one for work and one for personal use. You switch jobs and need to clean up your work profile. Instead of clearing the entire Safari history, it’s best to clear the history for that specific profile. Here’s how:
Clear Safari Profile History Using the Safari App
The Safari app on your iPhone lets you easily clear the history of a specific browsing profile. This method allows you to delete specific web pages from your history list within a particular Safari profile.
Note: Clearing your Safari history won’t remove any saved login info or bookmarks for that profile.
Step 1: Open the Safari App on your iPhone and tap the “Bookmarks button” on the bottom navigation bar.
Step 2: In the pop-up, tap the “History tab” on the navigation bar.
Step 3: In the History tab, tap the “Clear” button in the bottom-right corner.
Step 4: For the Clear Timeframe setting, select All History. Then, instead of choosing the All Profiles option, tap the specific Safari profile you want to clear.
Step 5: Tap the “Clear History” button to clear the Safari history for your chosen profile.
Clear Safari Profile History Via Settings
You can also clear Safari’s history through the Settings app on your iPhone. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap the “Safari” option.
Step 2: Scroll down to “Clear History and Website Data” and tap it.
Step 3: A new UI will open for clearing Safari’s history. From here, follow the above guide for your profile needs and clear the history as needed.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage the privacy of your Safari profiles on your iPhone. Whether through the Safari app or the Settings app. That’s all! With Safari Profiles, you can easily manage your browsing history.
