Q: Safari history on iPad - I do not want it deleted so fast.

I am confused about HOW LONG iPad safari stores history.. I am well versed on how to delete it.. Unlike others, I do NOT want it to go away.

At least not as fast as it does. I can check history, and sometimes it has 2-3 days back, sometimes more.

It brings up issues in my life when I have to explain why I may have deleted history.. I have no reason to delete history, and would prefer say 30 days worth..

Any explanations or ideas?

    Hi stockboy11

     

    I have the same problem. I share your feeling about the replies as well. I just wanna say that many people do not want to hear any complaints on themselves or the things/persons they like. That's a part of human nature. When you understand this, you should just ignore these blind fans of Apple. These people are just like those parents who spoil their children.

     

    I hope Apple could solve this problem when more and more users complain this. Anyway, many things are not perfect in our life, and sometimes our complaints don't help.

    Other users with this issue will appreciate you sent feedback directly to Apple.

    The more people that do send feedback, the more likely the issue will get corrected/fixed/updated.

    Check out McGruff SafeGuard Child Safe Browser - it records history for parents to see, seperately from what the child can delete.  gomcgruff.com/browser

    I can't find any way of deleting part of the browsing history in safari. It is possible to stop safari recording history by going to Settings | Safari | Private Browsing. If you don't want a record of a site you visited appearing in your history, turn Private Browsing on before visiting the site.

    I suppose it depends on whether you can just use another browser; i.e. switching cost. If yes, it's fair competition and no question of responsibility. For my part, I haven't switched completely from safari because I like to use the bookmarks, which I don't think could be moved to another browser very easily.

    I feel the same way. I need to look up my history to find websites to return to, as it is impossible to remember them all later. So, it is an extremely useful tool when doing research.
