Delete iPhone Safari history?
Is it possible to delete the Safari browsing history on an iPhone 4S?
thanks
Pete
Actually: Settings>Safari>Clear History>Clear Cookies & Data. Bookmarks are not managed or cleared here.

My iphone safari history, my 'reading list' shows visits and sites that I have never frequented. A few months back the same thing happened with my youtube history.
My phone is pass protected, and its just me using it, phone with me all the time. any ideas?
How can things be added to my reading list/youtube???Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

Im trying to go back into my safari history in my iphone and it only goes to April 12. The weird thing is I delete my cache and history and all that jazz on the first of every month and im trying to get something from april 8th. But its not there!!!!
How do i go back farther than april 12th?I don't ever clear mine, and it also only goes to April 13 (I am a day ahead).
So I am guessing that it stores only a week worth of history.
Possibly built in limit. -
please help
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...) Now I would like to restore it via Time Machine
Hi..
If you deleted your Safari history, you may not be able to restore using TM but give this a try...
Go to ~/Library/Safari
Look for the History.plist file.
Best to not use third party utlities such as CCleaner. They tend to do more harm than good. -
Restoring safari history on the ipad
My son is deleting his safari history, and I am wondering how to view the safari history after it has been deleted.
There is no way to stop clearing history in Safari/iPad at present.
Try Kidsafe browsers.

How do I restrict my child from deleting the Safari History, he usually deletes the History and then I never know what exacly he is looking at. I don't want to set too many restrictions, and not be as controlling, but would still like to know what pages he looks at. But he always deletes his History. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Where did you see a "Parental Control Settings pane"?
The only parental control that I am aware of is the Restrictions part.
You can - for example - restrict the use of certain apps, installation/deletion of apps, in-app purchases, etc.
You can also restrict the use of certain websites or define your own restricted websites.
If your child wants to visit a certain website, he would have to ask your permission.
BTW, if you restrict Websites > Specific Websites Only = On, then the history cannot be cleared anymore, except by the person who knows the Restrictions passcode. This feature could be of interest to you, but your child would then literally be limited to visit certain websites of your personal choice only.
Anyway, if you don't want to restrict the Clear History function, then I can't think of another solution right now.
Make sure you don't forget your Restrictions passcode, otherwise you have to restore the iPad. -
As I say, internet has been cleared, and under settings, the advanced cookies & history has also been cleared. Is there an easy way of viewing this info again?
Also, the "private browsing" option, is there a way of disabling it or at least having that option password protected?
And what is "web inspector"? Is that something that I can set up on my pc that will monitor iphone activity?
Thanks!EarthAngel6543 wrote:
I'm concerned about restoring my phone, I'm not exactly computer savvy, and there are some game apps on my phone that I'd be afraid of deleting.
Just wondered if there was another way?
If doing a restore is the only way, would someone be able to tell me how to do it and whether or not I will have a heck of a time getting all my info & apps back onto my phone afterwards?
Thanks!
How does this relate to your first post?
Are you talking about restoring as new? or restoring to a backup?
Why are you restoring?
If it is to recover History and you think that you have a backup that contains the missing history you could restore to that. Doing this will restore your iPad to the state that it was in at the time of the backup, Apps, Games, etc.
Note that there are PC and Mac applicatons that can read iPad backup files and extract information. Check the internet for these. I do no know if they extract Safari History. -
How to recover iphone safari session from iCloud after website history delete
Last evening I deleted my website history, not thinking that all of my then-open tabs in Safari would be deleted. All I would like is to recover my open pages.
My last itunes back-up is unfortunately one month ago, however, I do have an iCloud back up from about 1 hour before the deletion, and I did check that my Safari is marked as something to be backed up onto iCloud.
Is there a way to recover this without losing other information on my phone?A third party iPhone photos recovery software is for your situation. Please have a try.

It's not a free software but have no other way except trying this. -
Why is my iphone 5 safari history found in another person's iphone 5?
Both my mom and I uses Iphone 5. I had let her login to my itunes in her phone to let her download stuff and I didnt log out of it but i don't use iCloud either. So today, my mom asked me to help her search some things on the internet and passed me her phone. i was surprised to see all my current history in her phone. I tried deleting the history but it was still there. the only way i managed to get rid of it was to delete the cache. It was really surprising as she had the phone for 3 months and I am afraid that she might have actually seen some personal history in my phone. She is an IT idiot, so i doubted that she had actually planted a bug onto my phone to spy on me. I believe it was something to do with the itunes account but could not verify anything. Has anybody encountered this before? I am not sure if logging out of itunes on my phone will break the connection, i do hope that somebody can help me fix this. thank you.
You're both using the same Apple ID for iCloud, & one of the things you can keep in sync is Safari history/tabs on all of the devices that use the same Apple ID for iCloud. Read here:

When I sync iTunes between my iPhone 4 and my PC, does it also download my iPhone browser history to my PC? My PC is not a Mac and doesn't have Safari. Thanks!
I'm not sure but I think as browser history is just a series of URL links they would work with any browser. I found this info
Symptoms
When syncing iPhone or iPod touch bookmarks between Safari and Internet Explorer in Microsoft Windows, the Favorites bar in Internet Explorer 7 and 8 may not refresh to reflect changes or updates to the bookmarks.
For example, if you sync Safari bookmarks to your device and then make changes to the bookmarks on the device (such as deleting some bookmarks, editing the web address, re-arranging the order of the bookmarks), when you then sync those bookmarks to Internet Explorer, the changes will not be reflected in the Favorites bar for Internet Explorer.
Resolution
To refresh the Favorites bar, quit and reopen Internet Explorer.
Seems to indicate they work with internet Explorer -
How do I retrieve my cleared safari history on iphone?
How do I retrieve my cleared safari history on iphone? I accidentally clicked clear cookies and data as well, so everything is basically gone and there are very important stuff that I NEED to recover. I tried to do the settings>safari>adavanced>website data, but nothing worked, because since I cleared cookies as well, everything's just gone.
You restore the phone using a backup made before you cleared it. If you don't have a backup from when it was present, then it's gone.

I some how deleted the safari app on my iphone as well as my app store and the itunes store app how do i get it back?
They are pre-installed apps and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved them onto a screen or into a folder. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the apps are still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find them on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Also check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Safari, iTunes and Installing Apps and Deleting Apps are all ON.

I've can't open any applications on my Mac ! I tried to delete some files from safari (history) and then none of the apps including iphoto, safari, mail, facetime. I don't know how to fix it, help ? any idea ?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
