If I clear my cache on Safari on my iPhone, and not delete my history, will I lose all the tabs I have open in Safari?

I have found the article showing how to clear the cache, cookies and history on Safari on the iPhone [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201265], and I would like to clear the cache on Safari. My reasoning is because I use Twitter on Safari, I haven't downloaded that app. For the past couple days, photos and videos that get posted and should be on my feed are just thin lines and I can't view any of them. I troubleshooted that and found out that can be resolved by clearing the cache. I wouldn't mind doing that, but I have a lot of tabs open in Safari and I don't want to lose them. I don't know if that's considered history or not, but I don't want to lose all of those. I saw the walkthrough to remove the cookies and not the history in that article; will that resolve my issue and clear up my cookies and cache and not lose my tabs?

iPhone 7, iOS 10

Hi JayBagel,


It sounds like you're having some trouble clearing cache on Safari and we can help.


Since you only want to clear data for a specific website, you can clear just that website's data.


Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data.

Find any websites you want to delete data for, and swipe left to delete them.
