The “clear history” button on my safari doesn’t work the button is grey. There is no option for private tabs. I can’t clear my history from my settings either, that button is grey too. I haven’t been able to clear any of my history so that isn’t why the buttons don’t work. Also my content restrictions are all off I don’t know what’s wrong. What do I do?
iPhone 8, iOS 12
A screenshot often say more than words. I have now used your screenshot.
Try the following to add Private Mode:
01.
Set Content and Privacy Restrictions -> On
Tap the option Content Restrictions
Next: Tap Web Content
Tap Unrestricted Access
02.
Open Safari, and then tap the tab switcher. You can now see the Private option, which means that you should have no trouble when it comes to opening Private Browsing tabs.
Perhaps then turn the iPhone completely OFF and then ON again, so that the changes are saved.
Do you have a work email account on your iPhone? Or a profile?
as you can see, all of my options for clearing history are greyed out or missing. I really don’t know what’s wrong and I could clear my history through settings up until this week. I have also tried clearing my website data and that hasn’t done anything
The “clear history” button on my safari doesn’t work the button is grey.
Try this: Settings - Safari - scroll down to & tap on it: Clear history and website data - tap on: Clear history and data.
You don't need a button for it.
No I do not
When I do that, pressing clear history and data doesn’t work. The option is grey and all of my history is still there
Before you clear history & data:
After you clear history & data -> it is grey:
Then start Safari and it’s all clear.
I can’t clear my history
