Previously clearing safari browsing history would be disabled when screen time was turned on. Now screen time is still turned on but you are able to clear the safari browsing history. Can this be made an option in screen time? To allow or not allow the clearing of Safari browsing history? I noticed this on iOS 16.6
iPhone 6s
Same for me: swipe to delete still working with content restrictions on. So the clear button is grayed out, and history can’t be deleted wholesale from settings, but individual websites (and whole days) can be deleted with a swipe. This seems contradictory to using content controls to help a teen learn to use responsibly. Am I missing something?

I’m also having this issue. PLEASE HELP
how did you get it so they can’t delete the history? i’ve searched and looked all over screen time and can’t find anything. please tell me how to turn it on x
I went to the Genius Bar and geek squad none were able to help. They said to reach apple and let them know what’s going on to see if it’s something they need to fix in the software
Yes. It’s updated to the latest iOS.
Were you able to get any help on this issue?
I tried do this and it still has the delete swipe option
This is for iOS 16.6
Thank you, and I think it was maybe just a glitch. I restarted the phone, then turned off screen time and turned it back on and then the option to clear history disabled again.
I guess that’s my next option. It works as expected on my teen’s phone, with parent controls turned on but not on a shared iPad (my Apple ID) with content restrictions only. Hmm. Thanks Melmel.
Was this on iOS 16 by chance or had you already update to 17? I know this is a loophole with 17 but wondering if it was also a glitch with 16.
Usually with content restrictions on, you cannot clear your search history.
