Hello Landonllll,


Clearing history is a completely normal action for Safari. It will remove the history of any websites you've accessed since it was last cleared. You know how if you've visit apple.com and now when you type, `appl` it just assumes you want to go to `apple.com`? This will disappear. This was Safari using your history to find what websites you've visited in the past and may want to visit again. There is no harm in doing this and Safari will learn and use your new history to do this as well. Additionally, if you were logged into certain websites, you might be logged out and have to log in again.


I have my history set to delete itself after a month!
