CLEARING the cache on the Safari browser of your iPhone or computer could make it run faster.
Often devices aren’t running at their maximum speed because Safari is storing a snapshot of the websites you’ve visited so it can open them in an instant if you click on them again.
A cache is just a collection of data which your device is storing.
If your browser cache is not cleared of all the websites you’ve been on for a while then this can result in your browser running inefficiently.
A cached webpage also only shows the last version of the webpage that you viewed.
Therefore, clearing your cache also ensures you’re browsing updated webpages as well as freeing up much-needed memory.
To clear your cache and entire browsing history on the Safari mobile app you need to take the following steps.
Firstly, open the “Settings” app and click on “Safari”.
Next, you need to tap “Clear History and Website Data”.
A screen will then pop up on which you should click “Clear History and Data”.
It should be noted that if you clear your history on your iPhone or iPad it will do the same to any connected devices.
Clearing your cache can also clear any passwords from websites you’re already logged into but you can make sure any passwords you save on a browser stay saved by going on your iCloud settings and turning on the “Safari” tab.
If this box is checked then saved passwords will stay safe in your iCloud Keychain.
