Why is Safari taking up so much space on my iPad?

Recently, my iPad showed me the alert that my storage was full and I was shocked to see that Safari was taking up 16 gigs of space!!

Can someone please help??

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi

Another likely culprit is your offline storage - otherwise known as your Safari Reading List - that stores entire webpages and linked content for reading when offline and without an internet connection.


With Safari open, touch the small “book” icon that appears to the left of the Address Bar. While it is highlighted-blue, below the icon you will see three more icons - another book (your saved Favourites), a clock (your History) and a pair of glasses (your Reading List).
