iPhone - iOS 18 shortcut to clear Safari history & website data?

I want to create a shortcut on my iPhone (iOS 18.x) to clear Safari history & website data.


In the past, you could create a shortcut to do this in iOS using a Shorcut > web > open URL action with a target URL of prefs:root=SAFARI&path=CLEAR_HISTORY_AND_DATA


but this does not work in iOS 18.


Can anyone recommend how to do this in iOS 18?


This is to get around the lengthy & annoying task of doing all the following: tap Settings > scroll down 2 screens to Apps > tap Apps > scroll all the way down to Safari (in my case 7 screens) > tap Safari > scroll down 3 screens to Clear History and Website Data > Tap
