Clearing cache on Apple’s own inbuilt browser can be done through the settings app, just like other apps on iOS. Here’s the step-by-step process.
- Clear Safari browser cache on iPhone
- Open the ‘Settings’ app on your iPhone
- Scroll down through the page and find ‘Safari’
- Now on this page, there will be an option present ‘Clear History and Website Data’. Select it
- Confirm the prompt that appears next and you’re done!
Do note that as the option suggests, all your browser history along with cache and cookies will be removed as well. However, autofill data will still remain in place.

- Next, tap on the ‘3-dot’ menu present on the bottom right corner
- Now from the options appearing over there, tap on ‘History’
- Here you can select the time range of the data to be removed.
Once done, there would be an option called ‘Clear browsing data’ at the bottom. Select it. - Confirm the prompt and all your cached data, media and files will be removed
