Hi there,


See this


  1. Go to Settings > Safari.
  2. Tap Clear History and Website Data.

Clearing your history, cookies, and browsing data from Safari won't change your AutoFill information.

When there's no history or website data to clear, the button to clear it turns gray. The button might also be gray if you have web content restrictions set up under Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time.

To visit sites without leaving a history, turn Private Browsing on.
