Clearing website data

Will clearing cache history and cookies close all open tabs? Because I use private browsing I don’t have a record in history so the only way to return to a site I’ve been using and am not through with is to leave the tab open. I would like to clear cache & cookies and I do have too many open tabs but I want to manually close the tabs I don’t need

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

Hi gJCWH,


Thanks for your post! We understand you want to know if clearing cache history and cookies will close your tabs. Yes, performing those tasks will close your tabs.


Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Hope this helps.


Best regards.
