A website I visit recently updated it's tab icon. Using Safari on IOS 14.3 I still see the old icon.
I've tried going to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data and clearing. This does not delete the cache of tab icons and I still see the old one. I also tried toggling Settings > Safari > Show icons in tabs but the old tab icon still won't go away.
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

Hey patrickmoffitt,
We're glad you thought to ask Apple Support Communities about the tabs in Safari not updating the icon. Great steps with clearing the history and website data as well as toggling off the tab icons. If you haven't already, unpin the tab, quit Safari, relaunch, then visit the page again to pin it. Does this update the icon?
Keep us posted.
Take care.
patrickmoffitt,
Thanks for letting us know. Next, quit Safari by selecting the Safari menu > Quit Safari. Then hold the Shift key on your keyboard while opening Safari again. Keep holding the Shift key until Safari fully opens. This will clear the saved application state and hopefully update that icon.
Let us know how that goes.
Cheers.
It does not update the icon.
Thanks for the reply. This problem is with Safari for IOS 14.3. It does not exist in macOS.
How can I refresh Safari tab icons in IOS 14.3?
