Did you know that iCloud keeps your deleted Safari history for years?

It's time to delete the Safari history, so we can save ourselves the odd annoyance, eh pillines ... Anyway, it's our browsing information, and in the case of Safari it is quite good to delete it from time to time because we lighten the Safari cache and it will allow us navigate with a little more ease. Nevertheless, that navigation information is ours, and we choose what to do with it, whether we store it or delete it.

Apple's cloud has many good things, but it also has a few bad things. There are few of us who have the browsing history in Safari to quickly switch devices. However, did you know that iCloud keeps your deleted Safari history for years?

This comes to light when Vladimir Katalov, the CEO of a Russian company known as Elcom Soft, you got access to your own past browsing history through PhoneBreaker, a software tool that your company created with the intention of extracting any data from your backups or from the synchronization software that we have in iCloud, Apple's cloud.

Despite the fact that Vladimir had the good habit of periodically getting rid of the browsing history, he found 7.000 files tasting that had the beginnings back in November 2015, a year and a half later there are still there despite the fact that Vladimir had deleted the history of your devices.

But it was not the only surprise, and it is that he also found some of his notes synchronized with iCloud, but in the case of this type of files, only those corresponding to a maximum of thirty days ago were stored. Definitely, Apple stores our synced data on iCloud servers for years after deleting it from our devices, and we are concerned about not knowing exactly what Apple is trying to do with it.
