What you need
Steps
Your iPhone and tap the Safari icon on the Home Screen, in the App Library or in the dock. Wait for the start page to load.
Tap the tabs button in the bottom right corner. It looks like two overlapping squares and shows how many tabs are open.
Tap History. On iOS 27 it sits behind the clock icon at the top of the tab view, or under History in the bookmarks sidebar.
Scroll the list. Entries are grouped by day, with the time you visited each page shown next to the site name.
Tap any entry to reopen that page in a new tab. Swipe back to the history list if you want to keep browsing.
To find a page faster, tap the search field at the top and type part of the site name, page title or web address.
To remove one entry, swipe left on it and tap Delete. The rest of your history stays untouched.
To wipe everything, tap Clear at the bottom right, pick a time range such as the last hour or all history, then confirm.
Tips and common mistakes
Private browsing tabs never appear in Safari history, so a missing page may have been opened in a Private tab.
If History is empty or greyed out, check Screen Time content restrictions, since blocked websites can stop history from recording.
Clearing history on one iPhone also clears it on your other Apple devices when Safari is switched on in iCloud settings.
Clearing history does not delete your bookmarks, saved passwords or AutoFill details.
Questions
Can I recover Safari history after clearing it?
No. Once you clear history in Safari it is gone from the app. The only way back is restoring an iCloud or computer backup made before you cleared it.
Why is my Safari history not showing any pages?
Usually the page was opened in a Private tab, or a Screen Time restriction is blocking website tracking. Turn off Private browsing and check Screen Time, then browse normally again.
Does clearing history log me out of websites?
Not by itself. Clearing history only removes the list of pages. If you also clear cookies and website data, you will be signed out of most sites.
