pattricia Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I have an iPad which I have never deleted the history from. How do I do this and is it necessary ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomie Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Settings > Safari > Clear History & Website Data. It is a matter of opinion about how often you should do a clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it might work better if I clear the history although I've had no trouble yet. Will give it a try. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomie Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 It does not clear passwords, only cookies and history. To remove obsolete passwords go to Settings > Safari > Passwords. They can be deleted by pressing Edit. I usually clear the cache every day. The iPad has always run well with this regime. I also remove unused passwords regularly in order to keep the list short.

Ghozer Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 History should not clear passwords etc... it's cookies that does that... "history" is usually just the list of previously visited websites... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
