Have you ever wanted to clear your browsing history or cache? Different browsers from the App Store handle history settings differently.
You can easily clear your web history, cache, and cookies in Apple’s own Mobile Safari browser on your iDevice.
It’s very simple. Go to your iDevice’s Settings app. From there, find the Safari tab and scroll down to the bottom of that settings window. You’ll see the options to “Clear History,” “Clear Cookies” and “Clear Cache.”
Clearing the history will remove the list of web sites that you’ve visited on your iDevice. Clearing the cookies will delete any logins or forms that the browser has temporarily saved from recent history. When you clear the cache, you reset the images, ads, and other graphics Mobile Safari has loaded and temporarily saved for faster load times when revisiting addresses.
