In iOS:


  1. Launch Safari.
  2. Tap the bookmarks icon.
  3. Tap the Reading List (eyeglasses) icon.
  4. Swipe left on an item.
  5. Tap Delete.


In macOS:


  1. In Safari, select View > Show Reading List Sidebar if it’s not displayed.
  2. Control-click any item.
  3. Select Remove Item.



You can only clear your Reading List entirely in macOS Safari.

And if you’re using macOS, you can easily delete all Reading List items. In step 3 just above, select Clear All Items and confirm by clicking Clear. Voila! If your iOS devices are synced with that copy of Safari, all your Reading List items disappear there, too. (This can’t be undone, so be careful.)
