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:

  • 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!

    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 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.

  • Screenshots in cover flow of Safari history are empty. Why? Who knows?

    Screenshots in cover flow of Safari history are empty. Whereas all history is visible. Why? Who knows?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    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. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  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.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    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 steps 1 and 2.

  • 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, so its just me using it. any ideas?

    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why does my iPhone no longer give me the option to connect to my tv via Apple TV when on Safari as it previously did following my latest software upgrade?

    Why does my iPhone no longer give me the option to connect to my tv via Apple TV when on Safari as it previously did following my latest software upgrade?

    Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
    Same phone, same tv, same broadband network so everything the same so I assumed that it would.....just work!!! :-)
    I'm away this weekend but I'm going to turn off and reload the Apple TV to see if that might work.
    If not I may be begging your assistance again next week!!!
    Have a great weekend.

  • Looking up old safari history on iphone 4

  • Safari history sync

    HI
    i found on my iPhone 4s , on safari history many adult sites saved in the history that I didn't recognize , I've never visited any of these sites , no one has an access to my phone , but I shared my Apple ID with someone , so could he browsing these sites and his safari history is shared on my mobile , I know that safari does not share history on your devices so what's the reasonable answer to this

    I didn't say that you felt my story was unreasonable. And why would erasing the history not be a solution to getting rid of the history. Or are you not looking for that, but rather looking for how it got there? Someone, had to have visited the sites on the device.

  • Shared safari history

    I thought you were referring to the "history" you see on the tabs list.  This will include more than just open tabs from an iOS device; it will include all tabs that have not been cleared, which can sometimes go back quite a while depending on your browsing frequency.  (My tabs list includes 24 sites, and all appear as iCloud tabs on my other devices.)  If you are referring to the history folder inside the Bookmarks section on your phone, then that should only reflect sites previously visited on your phone (i.e., it doesn't include sites visited by other devices sharing the account).  Syncing browsing history will be a new feature of iOS 8 later this fall.
