How to clear Safari cache on iPhone

Clearing the cache in Safari on your iPhone can help improve performance, free up storage space, and ensure that websites you visit load the latest content. Here's how to do it:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Safari.
  3. Scroll down again and tap on Clear History and Website Data.
  4. Confirm that you want to clear the cache by tapping on Clear History and Data.

This will clear all browsing history, cookies, and cached data stored in Safari on your iPhone. Note that this will also sign you out of any websites you are currently logged into, so you will need to enter your login credentials again the next time you visit those sites.

Alternatively, you can also clear the cache for individual websites in Safari. Here's how:

  1. Open Safari on your iPhone.
  2. Tap on the "aA" icon in the top-left corner of the screen.
  3. Tap on "Website Settings".
  4. Scroll down and tap on "Clear History and Website Data".
  5. Confirm that you want to clear the cache by tapping on "Clear History and Data".

This will clear the cache and other data stored for the specific website you are currently visiting in Safari. Note that this will also sign you out of any accounts you are currently logged into on that website.
