While it\u2019s possible to completely wipe your history in Settings, you can also erase only more recent history if you\u2019d like. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<p>First, open Safari on your iPhone or iPad. Tap the \u201cBookmarks\u201d button (which looks like an open book). On the iPad, you\u2019ll find it in the upper-left corner of the screen beside the address bar. On an iPhone, it\u2019s at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-721015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/iphone_tap_bookmarks_icon.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"In Safari, tap the &quot;Bookmarks&quot; icon.\" width=\"650\" height=\"245\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the pop-up that <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears (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 \u201cClear\u201d button.<\/p>\n<p>(Don\u2019t worry. It won\u2019t clear anything yet.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-721014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/iphone_tap_history_and_clear.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap the &quot;History&quot; tab, then tap &quot;Clear.&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>After you tap \u201cClear,\u201d another pop-up will give you yet another choice. You can select \u201cAll time,\u201d \u201cToday and yesterday,\u201d \u201cToday,\u201d or \u201cThe last hour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cToday,\u201d all the browsing history from sites you visited today will disappear, but everything earlier than that will remain on the list.<\/p>\n<p>Tap the option you\u2019d prefer (or you can tap outside the pop-up box to cancel).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-721013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/iphone_tap_history_clear_option.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"After tapping clear, choose which time option you'd like.\" width=\"650\" height=\"485\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you made a selection from the pop-up list, your browsing history will be cleared accordingly. It\u2019s all very quick and handy.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Erase_Single_Entries_in_Safaris_History_List\"><\/span>How to Erase Single Entries in Safari\u2019s History List<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Oh, and one more thing before you go: In Safari\u2019s History list, you can also delete individual entries by swiping to the left on them with your finger. When a red \u201cDelete\u201d button appears on the right, tap it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-721012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/iphone_swipe_to_delete_individual_items.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"In Safari's History list, you can swipe any individual entry and delete it.\" width=\"650\" height=\"440\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>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.
