How to clear Safari’s cache and cookies on Mac
![safari delete history and cookies](https://www.macworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Safari-on-a-mac.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=800)
There are a handful of situations when clearing Safari’s cookies or cache–one of the places where Safari stores website data to avoid having to download it afresh each time you access a site–can help improve your browsing experience.
The first is when websites simply stop working when you access them on Safari. Perhaps Facebook stops updating with new posts, for example, or the images on a site don’t appear as they should. If this happens, it’s likely the cache has become corrupted.
Alternatively, if you find that personal info automatically completed on sites isn’t correct, deleting cookies can help. These are small files that sites use to save data about you and what you do on the site.
Even if none of these problems affect you, periodically cleaning browser data can help protect your privacy from snoops who want to discover what you’ve been up to online. In this article, therefore, we explain how to clear Safari’s cache and cookies on Mac.
We also have an article that explains How to clear cache on a Mac.
How to clear Safari cookies and cache for websites
Cleaning cookies and the cache data for individual sites can be done via Safari’s Settings/Preferences.
- Open Safari
- Click on Safari in the menu at the top of the screen.
- Click on Settings or Preferences (depending on the version of macOS you are running).
- Go to the Privacy tab.
- Click on Manage Website Data…
- Choose Remove All or select websites individually to remove.
After the data is loaded you’ll probably see a long list of websites. You can choose to Remove All or just select individual websites you want to remove from this list. If you want to select a number of different sites you can click on one and then press and hold the Command key to select a second, third or fourth and so on. We recommend that you don’t select hundreds this way – it’s better to delete in batches just in case you have to start over.
If you would prefer to select all and then deselect the ones you want to keep you can do so. Use Command + A to select all, then press and hold Command while clicking on any website you are happy to keep in this list. Just click Remove afterwards, not Done, as that will just undo all your hard work.
There’s a search field you can use to track down individual sites.
Bear in mind that deleting cookies might remove autocompleted login usernames and passwords for sites, and will almost certainly log you out of that site if you’ve configured it to automatically log in each time you visit.
![safari delete history and cookies How to clear Safari's cache and history on Mac: Privacy](https://images.macworld.co.uk/cmsdata/features/3496193/3_thumb.png)
How to clear Safari cache
The hidden Safari Developer menu can be used to clear just the cache, leaving cookies and the browser history in place. This is a very useful diagnostic step to take before removing those two items if a website behaves badly.
If you just want to clear all your cache you can do so by following these steps:
- Open Safari.
- Click on Safari in menu bar at top of screen.
- Click on Settings/Preferences (depending on the version of macOS you are running).
- Click on the Advanced tab.
- Check the box beside Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar.
- Now there will be a new Develop tab in the menu at the top of your screen. Click on this.
- Click on Empty Caches.
Alternatively click on Option/Alt + Command + E.
Close any open Safari windows and select Empty Caches on the Develop menu. Then click File > New Window to start Safari with a clean cache.
![safari delete history and cookies How to clear Safari's cache and history on Mac: Empty caches](https://images.macworld.co.uk/cmsdata/features/3496193/4_thumb.png)
How to remove autocomplete data from AutoFill
Safari’s AutoFill tool can fill in username and password details on websites as well as credit card details and other elements like your address and email details.
This can be really useful, but it can also be annoying if the data it fills in is incorrect or out of context. It’s also a problem when AutoFill helpfully enters old or incorrect passwords or emails and addresses.
You can change this data, or delete it by following these steps:
- Click on Safari.
- Click on Settings/Preferences.
- Choose the AutoFill tab.
- Here you can edit contact information, usernames and passwords, credit cards and other data. Click on Edit beside the category you want access to.
- You’ll need to enter your password or use Touch ID to gain access.
Delete incorrect data: If you are finding that Safari is autofilling incorrect data about you–your address, for example–click Edit beside Using information from my contacts. This will open up your Contacts app. Your card will be at the top or under My Card. You can add and amend data about you here.
![safari delete history and cookies How to clear Safari's cache and history on Mac: Autofill](https://images.macworld.co.uk/cmsdata/features/3496193/5_thumb.png)
Delete incorrect passwords and site logins: If you wanted to delete incorrect passwords, for example, you can just click on the Passwords tab. If you know which password you want to remove search for the website or service and then find the older password option (if there is more than one) and select it and then click on the – below the column to remove it. You can then select Delete Password. If that means there is no password saved for that website, you can then recreate the entry for the site by clicking the Add button. You’ll first need to provide the URL of the site (that is, something like https://facebook.com ), and then type the username and password alongside (hit the Tab key to move from field to field).
See: How to autofill passwords, bank cards, names and addresses for more.
![safari delete history and cookies How to clear Safari's cache and history on Mac: Site logins](https://images.macworld.co.uk/cmsdata/features/3496193/6_thumb.png)
Delete logins and passwords system-wide
Pruning site logins can also be done via the Keychain Access app, which you’ll find in the Utilities folder of the Applications list in Finder, although you should be very careful using this app because it pretty much controls the entire security operation of your Mac! However, by removing errant username and password entries here you’ll stop virtually all of your Mac apps using them, and not just Safari.
Just type the name of the site into the Search field, and look in the list of results for entries of the kind Web Form Password. Right-click the entry and select Delete.

How to clear Safari browsing history on iPhone and iPad
Clear Safari browsing history on iPhone and iPad in a few simple steps
![safari delete history and cookies iPhone screen showing the Safari app icon in the center](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Gvdmm9HZT4DwWH6WPi4FW8-320-80.jpg)
You'll definitely want to know how to clear Safari browsing history on iPhone and iPad . Know how to delete browsing history is part of basic user operation on all your devices, and is especially if you share devices with others.
Luckily, deleting browsing history on Safari is easy and can be done in just a few taps, and is the same on iOS and iPadOS, so whether you're using an iPhone 15 Pro or an iPad Air , these steps will apply.
Remember, though, that deleting your browsing history only stops your activity being visible on that device. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will still be able to see the webpages you have visited. If you want to stop that, for ultimate privacy, you'll need to use one of the best VPN services .
The following screenshots were taken on an iPhone running iOS 17 . If you aren't running the latest version of your device's OS, we can show you how to update an iPhone or how to update an iPad .
- In Safari, tap the book icon
- Go to the history tab (clock)
- Select how far back to clear
Read on to see full illustrated instructions.
1. In Safari, tap the book icon
![safari delete history and cookies A screenshot showing how to delete browsing history on Safari for iPhone and iPad.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ccNaydtFAQyY9u3CYb4D7F-320-80.jpg)
Firstly, open Safari and tap the book icon in the bottom bar.
2. Select the history tab (clock icon) and tap Clear

![safari delete history and cookies A screenshot showing how to delete browsing history on Safari for iPhone and iPad.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2Z4PUaot5CF7HQmymX3qMF-320-80.jpg)
Now choose how far back you'd like to delete : last hour, today, today and yesterday, or all time.
If you like, you can toggle on Close All Tabs , which will close every open tab that isn't in a tab group (we can show you how to use tab groups if you aren't sure).
Finally, when you're happy, hit Delete .
![safari delete history and cookies A screenshot showing empty browsing history on Safari for iPhone](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bw6rfLRwVx8Vt2GuAJa2VF-320-80.jpg)

How to Delete Cookies in Safari
When you browse the web on your devices, websites will often leave cookies on your system so that they can remember you and what your preferences are.

How to Delete Cookies and Stored Website Data in Safari
Websites and advertisers use cookies to identify you and follow you around the internet, and they might also save other website data to remember you by. In Safari, you can delete these cookies and other data. Let's head to Safari's privacy settings.
![safari delete history and cookies safari cookies details](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hEN9MEY6YxAVMVLaRX25n6-320-80.png)

Want to erase some of your iPhone's browsing history?

How to erase single entries in safari's history list.
Normally, Safari on iPhone and iPad keeps track of which sites you visit in a special History list. While it's possible to completely wipe your history in Settings , you can also erase only more recent history if you'd like. Here's how.
First, open Safari on your iPhone or iPad. Tap the "Bookmarks" button (which looks like an open book). On the iPad, you'll find it in the upper-left corner of the screen beside the address bar. On an iPhone, it's at the bottom of the screen.
In the pop-up that appears (on the left side of the screen on iPad and over the whole screen on iPhone), tap the History tab (which looks like a clock face), and then tap the "Clear" button.
(Don't worry. It won't clear anything yet.)
After you tap "Clear," another pop-up will give you yet another choice. You can select "All time," "Today and yesterday," "Today," or "The last hour."
Choosing one of these options will remove your browsing history, cookies, and other browsing data from the point you select until now. For example, if you click "Today," all the browsing history from sites you visited today will disappear, but everything earlier than that will remain on the list.
Tap the option you'd prefer (or you can tap outside the pop-up box to cancel).
If you made a selection from the pop-up list, your browsing history will be cleared accordingly. It's all very quick and handy.
Oh, and one more thing before you go: In Safari's History list, you can also delete individual entries by swiping to the left on them with your finger. When a red "Delete" button appears on the right, tap it.
Using this method, only the single entry you just swiped will be zapped. This can be a nice, laser-focused way of erasing certain history items without having to clear everything at once. Happy browsing!

How to clear your Safari browser cache on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad
- You can clear your cache on Safari in just a few steps on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
- Clearing your cache, as well as history and cookies, can help resolve your device's performance issues.
- Clearing your cookies will clear your passwords as well, unless you save them with keychain.
A cache is a store of data. When you visit a website on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad, the Safari browser keeps a snapshot of the pages you view.
If you go back to that website, Safari loads the cached page in an instant, instead of taking the time to retrieve the page from the internet again.
But an overloaded cache can take up storage space and cause your device to run inefficiently — and it could use a periodic clearing.
Here's what you need to know to clear your cache on Safari, as well as your cookies and browsing history.
How to clear Safari cache on Mac
You can either clear just your cache or your cache, history, and cookies.
Clear your cache
1. Click on the Safari tab at the top left of your screen and choose Preferences from the dropdown menu.
2. Click the Advanced tab of the menu that pops up.
3. At the end of the tab, select the Show Develop menu in menu bar box and close the Preferences menu.
4. Click the Develop tab from the Safari menu at the top of the page.
5. Click Empty Caches from the dropdown menu.
Clear your cache, history, and cookies
You may also want to clear your browsing history and cookies in addition to emptying your cache. Here's how to do that.
1. Choose the History tab at the top of your screen.
2. At the very bottom of the dropdown menu, choose Clear History.
3. A box pops up with a choice to clear the last hour, today, today and yesterday, or all history. Choose your time frame and click the Clear History button.
Once you clear the history, it will also clear the cache and cookies associated with that time period.
How to clear Safari cache on iPhone or iPad
To clear your cache and browsing history:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap Safari .
3. Tap Clear History and Website Data .
4. On the screen that pops up, choose Clear History and Data .
To clear your cache but not your browsing history:
3. Tap Advanced .
4. Tap Website Data .
5. Choose Remove All Website Data .
What happens to saved passwords when you clear your cache
When you clear your cache, history, and cookies, you may discover that Safari has logged you out of your favorite websites.
While clearing Safari's cache alone will not delete your passwords, clearing your history and cookies can. That's because when you empty your cookies, you will lose their password data saved in Safari as well. And keep in mind that clearing your history also clears its associated cookies.
Luckily, Apple has a solution to this problem. If you use iCloud, check your iCloud settings on your phone or computer.
Make sure that you've checked the box for Safari. As long as this box is checked, any passwords you save through your browser will stay safe in your keychain .

Safari stores your browsing history as well as cached files and cookies from every website you visit. Clearing Safari history, cookies, and cached data on your iPhone can be beneficial for various reasons, including performance improvement, privacy, troubleshooting, and general maintenance.
Sometimes, you also may simply want a fresh start and prefer to clear your history regularly to minimize your digital footprint.
Clearing your history ensures others can’t see which websites you’ve visited or what information you’ve searched for. This is mostly applicable if you share your iPhone with others or search for sensitive information.
Over time, cached files and cookies from sites you visit can accumulate and take up a significant amount of storage space on your iPhone. Clearing them will free up storage capacity. Excessive data accumulation, including history, cookies, and cache, can slow down Safari’s performance. Clearing this data could speed up your browsing experience.
Also, if a website isn’t loading properly, clearing your browsing history, cache, and cookies will force Safari to download fresh data and could help resolve the issue.
How to Clear Safari History
![safari delete history and cookies safari 1](https://www.idropnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/safari-1.jpg)
To clear your Safari history and website data such as cookies and caches, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down to Safari and tap it.
- Find Clear History and Website Data and tap it.
- On the next screen, you’ll have the option to clear history from the Last Hour , Today , Today and Yesterday , or All history. Select whichever one you prefer.
How to Clear Safari Cache and Cookies
![safari delete history and cookies safari 2](https://www.idropnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/safari-2.jpg)
The steps above will clear all of your browsing history, plus cookies, cache, and other browsing data (this is what “website data” refers to). However, you can preserve the history of the sites you’ve visited while clearing out only your cookies and other stored browsing data such as caches and stored preferences for individual websites.
Here’s how to clear your Safari cache and cookies, but keep your history:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll all the way down to Advanced and tap it.
- Tap Website Data . Depending on how much data is stored, this screen might take a few seconds to load.
- To flush the data for an individual site, locate it in the list and swipe right-to-left to delete it. You can also select Show All Sites to expand the list.
- To delete all cookies and caches, select Remove All Website Data at the bottom of your screen and then tap Remove Now to confirm.
Clearing Safari’s history and website data is a straightforward process that can protect privacy, improve performance, and help manage valuable storage space effectively. Whether or not you’ve been thinking about it, give it a try to see if you notice a difference.

Clear Cache, Cookies and History on Safari
Updated at: May 23, 2024
Here are instructions to help you clear your browsing history, cookies & cache in Safari on macOS.
There's a few guides here, what would you like to do:
- Clear the entire Cache, Cookies, and History in Safari on macOS
- Clear the Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage Data (but not the history) in Safari on macOS
- Clear saved Form Data and Passwords
Clear the entire Cache, Cookies, and History in Safari
Click the "safari" menu.
Make sure you have a Safari window open and active; you will see the "Safari" menu in the top left of your screen. Click it and it will expand to show Safari specific options.
![safari delete history and cookies The location of the Safari menu - in the top left of the screen](https://cdn.whatismybrowser.com/prod-website/static/main/content/guides/common/safari-macos-safari-menu.png)
Click the "Clear History..." item
Now that you have expanded the Safari menu, you will see the Clear History... item - click on it.
![safari delete history and cookies The Safari menu showing the Clear History item.](https://cdn.whatismybrowser.com/prod-website/static/main/content/guides/clear-cache-history-cookies/safari-macos-safari-menu-clear-history.png)
Choose the time range to delete and then "Clear History"
Safari now gives you a very simple interface for clearing your browsing cache, history, and cookies. When you click Clear History your cache, browser history, and cookies will be deleted for the specified time range.
![safari delete history and cookies The Safari dialog for showing the time range to clear your browsing data for](https://cdn.whatismybrowser.com/prod-website/static/main/content/guides/clear-cache-history-cookies/safari-macos-clear-time-range.png)
If you choose the default option of " all history " then the entire historical record of your browsing on this computer will be deleted. At the top of the prompt, you'll see "Clear: all history" - you can click on this Select field and choose a time range to clear instead.
So instead of deleting all your history, you can choose to just delete Today's browsing history, or just the past hour's history.
Once you have decided how much you want to delete, click the Clear History button.
Congratulations, you have now cleared your selected browsing data from your computer. You can simply close this window and continue to use Safari.

Clear the Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage Data in Safari
These steps will remove Safari's automatic cache of temporary data it has stored while you browse the internet; these steps won't delete your browsing history .
Click the "Preferences" menu item
Now that you have expanded the Safari menu, you will see the Preferences item - click on it.
![safari delete history and cookies The expanded Safari menu, showing the the Preferences item](https://cdn.whatismybrowser.com/prod-website/static/main/content/guides/common/safari-macos-safari-menu-preferences.png)
The Safari Preferences screen will now appear.
Click the "Privacy" tab
The Safari Preferences screen has a number of sections, indicated by the various options along the top of the screen (General/Tabs/AutoFill etc). Click the Privacy item to see privacy related options.
![safari delete history and cookies The Preferences window, showing the Privacy tab](https://cdn.whatismybrowser.com/prod-website/static/main/content/guides/common/safari-macos-preferences-privacy.png)
Click "Manage Website Data...
On the privacy tab, click the Manage Website Data button to show a list of all the sites Safari has collected data for.
![safari delete history and cookies The Privacy pane showing the Manage Website Data button.](https://cdn.whatismybrowser.com/prod-website/static/main/content/guides/clear-cache-history-cookies/safari-macos-manage-website-data-button.png)
Select the site/s you want to delete data from, and click "Remove"
On this screen you will see a list of all the domains Safari has collected data for. Find the ones you want to remove (you can search for a domain in the Search field in the top right of the window.
![safari delete history and cookies The Privacy pane showing the Manage Website Data button.](https://cdn.whatismybrowser.com/prod-website/static/main/content/guides/clear-cache-history-cookies/safari-macos-manage-website-data-remove.png)
Delete one page from Safari's Cache
If you just want to delete the cache and cookies from one website, you can select the domain name here and press the Remove button. This will keep all the other data intact and just remove the one site's cookies and cache.
You can remove sites one at a time, you can hold down the ⌘ Command button and keep clicking to select more than one domain at a time.
When you have selected the domains you want to clear the data from, simply press the Remove button and Safari will clear the data for those sites.
If you remove data for any sites you are logged in to, you will probably have to re-log in to them again, but your browsing history will still be intact.
Clearing Form Data and Passwords in Safari
Follow these instructions to clear the form data and passwords that have been saved in Safari.
Click the "AutoFill" tab
The Safari Preferences screen has a number of sections, indicated by the various options along the top of the screen (General/Tabs/AutoFill etc). Click the AutoFill item to see AutoFill related options.
![safari delete history and cookies The expanded Safari menu, showing the the Preferences item](https://cdn.whatismybrowser.com/prod-website/static/main/content/guides/common/safari-macos-preferences-autofill.png)
Choose what to AutoFill, and edit/clear existing data
On the AutoFill screen, you will see a listing of types of data Safari can be configured to "remember" for you - that way, when you need to fill out some forms online, Safari will try to automatically put the correct data in for you. You can turn this feature on or off for different types of data, including contact information, credit cards, usernames & passwords, and so on.
![safari delete history and cookies Checkboxes to choose what Safari will AutoFill, and Edit buttons to clear existing data.](https://cdn.whatismybrowser.com/prod-website/static/main/content/guides/clear-cache-history-cookies/safari-macos-autofill-choose-edit.png)
To review, edit, and delete the items that Safari has saved, click the corresponding Edit... button. Some of these items require you to enter the password for your computer - that is, the user you are currently logged in as on your Mac.
You can use these interfaces to review and optionally delete any information you've previously entered from your computer. Because some of it is sensitive (Passwords, Credit Card numbers etc) you will have to unlock various sections by entering your computer's password.
When you are finished, simply close Safari's Preferences by clicking the Red "close" button.

Apple 's Safari web browser offers an easy way to delete cookies and cache on iPhones and iPads. Cookies can help provide a personalized web browsing experience, but they can also create a significant privacy issue by collecting and disseminating users' browsing data. It is, therefore, essential to delete cookies after each browsing session for improved privacy.
Like most browsers, Safari also offers users the ability to delete the entire browsing history, including site data, cookies, cache and more. This means users can easily delete their browsing data on Apple's default web browser for iPhones and iPads. Doing so is not only a good privacy practice but also helps save precious storage space and can even speed up the browsing experience.

Safari offers an easy way to delete all saved cookies. Depending on a user's needs, they can either remove all cookies en masse or get rid of them individually, one at a time. To start the process, go to the iPhone's (or iPad's) ' Settings ' and then select ' Safari ' from the settings menu. On the Safari Settings page, scroll down a little and tap on 'Clear History and Website Data.' Confirm the decision by hitting ' Clear History and Data ' on the pop-up. As explained by Apple , this will delete all history and website data in Safari en masse.
Delete All Data Or Specific Cookies
Safari also allows users to delete specific cookies and website data while preserving everything else. Users will need to access the ' Advanced ' menu to do that. To delete only website data, go over to ' Settings ' and select ' Safari ' as described earlier. Now scroll down to the bottom, hit ' Advanced, ' and tap on ' Website Data .' Next, users will be presented with the data for all websites they've visited on that browser. Users can now choose to delete all data at once or remove specific cookies manually. To remove all cookies and website data at once, simply tap on the ' Remove All Website Data ' button at the bottom, and then confirm the decision by hitting ' Remove Now. '
To remove specific cookies, tap on the ' Show All Sites ' prompt and then hit the ' Edit ' button at the top-right corner of the screen. Now tap on the red '-' button corresponding to the site whose data must be removed. Next, tap on the ' Delete ' button to confirm the selection, and finally, hit ' Done ' at the top-right corner. This will delete cookies and data of that particular site while preserving the data from every other site used on that browser . Do note that clearing cookies will sign users out of that website on Safari , so saving cookies from sites like YouTube or Facebook will save them the hassle of signing in every time.

How to clear the cache on your iPhone (and why you should)
How many tabs are open on your mobile browser right now? Go ahead, check -- you might be surprised by what you find.
Americans spend over five hours a day on their smartphones. That's over five hours of your phone potentially accessing, retrieving, and saving cache and cookies, which can negatively impact your iPhone's storage space .
What is cache?
Cache is the temporary storage of some data, like parts of a website from the last time you visited it, for example. Browser cache is content from a website that is stored on your phone during a browser session to help the browser execute faster the next time you visit that page.
Also: How to clear Google search cache on Android
Cache data can slow down your phone's overall browsing performance, however, since it takes up storage space on your device, so it's good to clear it out regularly. In this article, we mainly focus on clearing web browser cache on an iPhone, but you should know that other types of cache include mobile app cache and CPU cache.
How to clear cache on iPhone
What you'll need: Everything you need to clear your browser cache is within the iPhone's settings app or the Safari app, so grab your iPhone to get started.
Keep in mind that clearing the cache can clear private data, which can close all open tabs in Safari. This is also likely to log you out of all your websites, prompting you to sign in again the next time you open them.
How do I clear the cache from Chrome on iPhone?
If Google Chrome is your preferred browser, it may have a substantial amount of data stored on your device, which could also slow down performance.
To clear the cache in Chrome, open the Google Chrome app and follow these steps:
- Tap Settings .
- Go to Privacy and Security .
- Select Clear Browsing Data .
- Select the time from which to delete the data (if you want to delete all your browsing history, choose All Time ).
- Go through the items you'd like to delete, like your Browsing History, Cookies and Site Data, Cached Images and Files, Saved Passwords , and Autofill Data.
- Confirm by tapping Clear Browsing Data at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap Done when you've deleted the Chrome cache.
Also: Apple releases iOS 17.4 with podcast transcripts, new emojis, and EU app store changes
Clearing the browsing and cache data in Google Chrome doesn't close all open tabs, but it will refresh each tab and log you out of websites. Once you tap on one of the tabs you want to access, you'll have to log back in.
How can I browse on Safari without history?
If you're learning how to clear cache on an iPhone, you may also be wondering if there's a way to use Safari without saving any browsing history. You can turn on Private Browsing by following these steps:
- Open Safari .
- Tap on Tabs .
- Choose Private .
You can also enable private browsing by going to your iPhone Settings, finding Safari, and toggling on the private option.
How do I clear my app cache on my iPhone?
To clear the app cache from your iPhone Settings app, you can either delete the app and reinstall it, offload it, or try to clear the cache from within the app. Unfortunately, iOS apps don't have consistent settings across the board that would allow you to clear the cache of every app.
Also: Apple warns: Don't put your wet iPhone in rice. Do this instead
Apps like TikTok and CapCut, for example, have options to Clear Cache within their respective settings. Amazon lets users delete their browsing history, while the Reddit app can clear local history. It all depends on what the app's settings let you do.
Is "clear cache" the same as offloading?
Not exactly, though app offloading can help if your phone is slowed down by low storage. To offload an app means to uninstall an app without deleting any documents or data associated with it.
Also: Apple secures iMessage against threats from the future
To offload an app, go to Settings , then General , choose iPhone Storage and select the app to offload, then tap Offload App . If you ever download it again, you'll pick up where you left off for that app.
Are cookies and cache the same thing?
Cookies and cache are not the same. Cookies are data files that websites send to your phone, including things like saved passwords to keep you logged into an account or even the website preferences from the previous time you visited.
Also: I tested the best Mint alternatives, and this is my new favorite money app
Though they do sound harmless, cookies can also track how you browse the internet. They monitor patterns in your browsing and search history, even seeing what you clicked on or what your mouse hovered over. Ever made an innocuous search on Amazon only to find ads for it on all the apps you use? Cookies likely made that possible.
Can I block cookies on my iPhone?
While you can block cookies on Safari, the ranks are divided on whether you should. Blocking cookies entirely means that websites won't be able to get information from you, but it also means that some websites may not even work correctly on your browser. A lot of users actually enjoy a more personalized browsing experience, so cookies are a good thing for them.
If you'd like to block cookies in Safari, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings and select Safari .
- Tap on the toggle next to Block All Cookies .
There are also third-party extensions that help you block cookies and trackers in Google Chrome, like Ghostery and Disconnect .
How do I check iPhone storage?
On an iPhone, Settings can show you what's taking up most of your media storage, like photos, videos, and music. You can also see what each particular app's storage consumption is, which includes temporary data. To view the details of your iPhone's storage space, follow these steps:
- Go to the iPhone Settings .
- Tap on General .
- Select iPhone Storage .
- Scroll through to find the app you're looking for.
- Tap on the app to view storage status and options.
Unfortunately, you can't clear your iPhone cache for third-party apps by going into your Settings app, but this gives you a visual of your iPhone's storage and the option to delete or offload apps.

When you look at your device's storage space, you'll probably see recommended steps you can take to optimize your iPhone's storage, like offloading unused apps.
