How do I clear Safari history on iPhone when option is grayed out?

I already tried settings. I then convinced my mom to disable content and privacy restrictions but it is still gray. Please help

If you are trying to clear your Safari search history, turning off Content and Privacy Restrictions will not allow you. Instead, you must turn off Screen Time entirely to do so. You can do it at Settings > Screen Time > Scroll down to Turn off Screen Time. Note that this will need to be done on your parents device and with their approval.
