Safari history  on iPhone 5 question.

Does safari delete browsing history after a certain number of days or amount of sites visited? I tried looking at my history for something I found this weekend and the latest date that was available was 3/4 which was yesterday. Can someone help me please

Safari maintains a history of about 250 links. This is not configurable as far as I know.
Some other iPad browsers allow configuring the number of links maintained in history. ICab Mobile is an example.

  • 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.

  • Looking up old safari history on iphone 4

    I'm trying to look up my old safari history on my phone and can only see the last few days. How can I view older history?

    As far as i know, you can't delete single items.

  • Stupid Question? - Safari History

    For some reason the dates in my Safari history are incorrect. i.e. Today is Sunday, June 1st, but when I go to access History from the toolbar, it lists yesterday as Friday, May 30....so dates in History are off by one day. However, my system time & date is set correctly.
    Probably a stupid question, but any idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    I can't find the word "yesterday" on my History menu. Where do you see that?
    For me it shows "Earlier Today" then it starts showing the dates underneath that.
    Of course, I didn't use Safari yesterday, so that might be why.

    Try:

    - 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

  • 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:

  • FULL IPHONE SAFARI HISTORY

    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.

  • Is there a relatively easy way to view deleted safari history or pages viewed for an iphone? Browser has been cleared, cookies have been cleared, but I'm wondering if the information is still accessible in my phone somehow?

    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!

    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.

  • Iphone 6 Safari history saved on yosemite

    I bought a new iMac and iPhone 6 Plus. I am in real estate and need to keep a history of browsing so I can record of views of homes I have shown to clients and iMessages to clients so I have a record of all information conveyed to clients in case of sales retraction. How do I set up Yosemite for the iMac to do this using the continuity features or a 3rd party tool to automatically record this?

    In Safari Preferences, there is a "Remove history items:" item. You can set it to manually.
    New to OS X Yosemite, your history syncs across machines.
    That said, I think Safari would probably slow down if you tried to store 2 years' worth of history. You may need a better way than Safari history to track this.

  • How do I set up a specific homepage for Safari on my iPhone?

    How do I set up a specific page to be the page that opens every time I open Safari on my iPhone?  I saw that you go to Preferences, but I can't find where that is?  What are the steps from there?  Thanks.

    It actually is the answer to the question. Safari on the iPhone is not designed to allow for the setting of a home page. The only method to do it is what the last posted told you. That is how iOS handles the setting of a page, other than a bookmark in Safari. If you have a particular page you want to always open to in Safari, use the method described above which sets a shortcut on the home screen that you use instead of the regular Safari icon to start Safari.
    It could be considered a workaround, depending on how you view it.

  • ICloud Safari History not syncing across my devices with Yosemite and iOS 8

    I have a MacBook Pro with the latest update of Yosemite installed, an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1.1, an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.1 and other things seem to be syncing like my bookmarks, reading list, and all other iCloud data as well as iMessages and text messages. But the one thing that does not seem to be syncing is my browsing history in Safari. This is supposed to be a new feature of Yosemite and iOS 8 and it is working for a friend of mine but not me.
    How can I fix this? I've tried going into iCloud settings on all three devices and turning off Safari sync and then turning it back on but no luck.

    I spoke with Apple support again this weekend. The first support specialist told me that Safari browsing history was not a feature at this time. When I sent a screenshot of the notes of what updated in Safari 8.0.2 on December 11, 2014 from the AppStore, I got transferred to a senior support specialist. They had me try things like log out of icloud and then reset my network settings on my devices. But that unfortunately did not work. My next step which I did not have time to do, is to see if it is my iCloud account by creating a new iCloud account, logging out of iCloud and then resetting my network settings and then logging into iCloud with the new iCloud account and see if Safari history syncs.
    I'm not sure what they will do for me if it is my iCloud account because I have so much on that account and have email addresses that I don't want to lose. And if it isn't the iCloud account they said it is probably my devices but I am not sure what they will have me do to try to fix it if it is. Set them up as new? I don't really want to do that, it takes forever to get everything back on the device.
