Step by step

  1. Open Settings → Apps → Safari. On older versions of iOS, Safari may appear directly in Settings.

  2. For a full Safari cleanup, choose Clear History and Website Data, select a time range, and confirm. This removes browsing history, cookies and cached website data.

  3. To keep your history, go to Safari → Advanced → Website Data → Remove All Website Data. Confirm the removal of site data.

  4. Reopen Safari and check the website that had a problem. You may need to sign back into websites after removing cookies.
