Clearing Safari history on my child’s ipad

Question

Clearing Safari history on my child’s ipad

I have read all responses in this discussion centre but I still can’t clear the history in my son’s iPad. We have a family sharing account. I have tried the following:

* Turned off all parental controls on my phone and on his iPad.

* Allowed all websites (no restrictions).

* We both have current software update.

* In settings>safari> the ‘clear history & website data’ button is greyed out.

* Cleared website data via settings>safari>advanced>website data

* shut down/restart

When returning to Safari browser, going to the history, the delete button is still greyed out.

Please help. Thank you.

Unfortunately that didn’t work, but it was a great suggestion. I thought it was going to be the answer. In the end I had to delete the parental controls altogether, clear the history & then set up parental controls again. Time consuming & there needs to be an easier way, but for now, the answer is “delete & start again”. Hopefully this will help other parents.

thank you for your suggestion 😊

Try going to the parents or guardians device that setup family sharing, go to the child’s account (in screen time), scroll down, and press on “Turn off App & Website Activity”

let me know if it works!
