Clear Safari Cache on iPhone or iPad

If Safari starts acting strangely on your iPhone or iPad, especially if old content won;t update, or an error condition persists unexpectedly, try emptying the cache. The cache is a set of files from the web stored on your device to speed up access in future. To clear your cache and browsing history:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap Safari.
3. Tap Clear History and Website Data.
4. On the screen that pops up, choose Clear History and Data.

Quick tip: If the steps above don't empty your cache, try adjusting screen time
restrictions and stop using iCloud sync before doing them again.
To clear your cache but not your browsing history:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap Safari.
3. Tap Advanced.
4. Tap Website Data.
5. Choose Remove All Website Data.
