Clear Safari Browsing History and KEEP Website Data on iPad

Hello. Is there a way to clear Safari browsing data but KEEP the website data on iPad or iPhone?


On a Mac, you can clear browsing history by choosing History > Clear History. But if you hold the Option key before selecting Clear History, you can clear history and keep website data.


Is there a similar option for iOS?


Thanks.

iOS/iPadOS is less granular in deletion of browsing history and associated website data. You can find information about clearing history and cached data here:
