Clearing search history.

How do I clear search history and website data on my safari? i’ve already tried pressing “Clear History and Website Data” on the settings app>safari, and it was in grey writing and when i clicked it, nothing happened and when i went to safari, my search history was still there. Any other ways to clear my history other then that, or any other options?

Have you checked Settings/Screen Time for any restrictions?


Try double clicking the Home button or swipe up from the bottom of the screen and swipe Safari upwards. Go to Settings/Safari and clear History and Website Data. Open Safari and test.
