How to use private browsing mode in Safari and clear history

The integration offered by iCloud, It is not limited to the synchronization of our contacts, agenda and others It is also in charge of synchronizing our Safari browsing data, be it both the bookmarks and the browsing history.

If we use Safari from our iPhone or iPad, when we do it from Safari, both in its version for Mac and PC, we will have access to the browsing history of these devices, data that sometimes we do not want to be recorded on the device. To avoid this, we must use the incognito mode that Safari offers us.

Although it is true that the private mode offered by all browsers on the market, they are not so "incognito"If it is true that the browsing data using this function is not synchronized with the rest of the devices.

Use Safari's private mode to browse

The advantages that this navigation mode offers us, I have already commented above, some advantages that may be ideal if our device or computer, is used by more than one person.

  • First we go to the browser and click on the lower button of the browser located on the right side of the screen and represented by two overlapping frames.
  • Next, the tabs that are currently open in the browser will be shown, tabs that we can close by clicking on the X shown on the left side of the screen. To open a private window, we must go to the bottom left of the screen and tap Nav. private.
  • At that time the browser will open again but with the interface in black, indicating that we have activated the private browsing mode.

Clear browsing history in Safari

If we have failed to enable the private mode when visiting a web page, from the device itself we can access the history and delete only the web that we do not want to be reflected in other devices associated with the same ID.

  • To access the browsing history, we go to the markers and click on the clock located on the right side of the screen.
  • Next, we look for the web page that we want to delete and we slide that address toward the left for the delete option to appear, an option that we will press to delete that website from the Safari history of all devices associated with the same Apple ID.

  • From that same window we can also clear all browsing history, by clicking on Delete in the lower right corner of the screen. This option will offer us different options: The last hour, Today, Today and Yesterday and Always. We just have to select from when we want to delete the history.

Clear browsing history and data in Safari

  • To erase all browsing history as well as all data stored on the device related to our activity in Safari, we must access through Settings> Safari and select Clear history and website data.
  • Before confirming this process, iOS will show us a sign informing us that this process will affect all devices associated with the same Apple ID, so all Safari history and data will be deleted from all devices. This option cannot be undone.

    Hello, one question is that I have a little problem: when I go to Settings> Safari> Clear history and website data and I say yes and then I go a little further down to Advanced and look at the website data (Website Data in my case I have it in English) there are 4 or 5 addresses that no matter what I do, they are never deleted. In this menu there is another button to delete everything but those addresses do not go away. At the top left, I click on Edit and try to delete them one by one and nothing, when I return there they are still.

    Anyone know how to delete those entries?

    Thank you
