How to Manage Your Browsing History in Safari

Revisit websites or remove them from your Safari search history

• Step-by-Step: Manage History on macOS
• Use Private Browsing in Safari
• Step-by-Step: Manage History on iOS Devices
• Use Private Browsing on iOS

The Apple Safari web browser keeps a log of your search history and the websites that you visit. Learn how to manage your browsing history in Safari and how to browse privately.

Instructions in this article apply to Safari for Mac computers with OS X Yosemite (10.10) through macOS Catalina (10.15) and Apple mobile devices with iOS 8 through iOS 14.

How to Manage Safari History on macOS

Safari has long been the standard web browser for macOS . Here's how to manage Safari's history on a Mac:

Open the Safari browser and select  History  in the menu bar located at the top of the screen.

You'll see a drop-down menu with the titles of the web pages you visited recently. Select a website to load the respective page or select one of the previous days at the bottom of the menu to see more options.

To clear your Safari browsing history and other site-specific data that's stored locally, choose  Clear History  at the bottom of the History  drop-down menu.

If you want to keep website data (like saved passwords and other autofill information), go to  History  >  Show All History . Press Cmd + A  to select everything, then press  Delete to remove your browser history while retaining website data.

Select the period you want to clear from the drop-down menu. Options include the last hour , today , today and yesterday , and all history .

Select Clear History to delete the list of sites.

If you sync your Safari data with any Apple mobile devices using iCloud , the history on those devices is cleared as well.

How to Use Private Browsing in Safari

To prevent websites from appearing in the browser history, use Private Browsing. To open a private window in Safari, go to File > New Private Window , or use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Command + N .

When you close the private window, Safari doesn't remember your search history, the web pages you visited, or any autofill information. The only distinguishing feature of the new window is that the address bar is tinted dark gray. The browsing history for all tabs in this window remains private.

In Safari for Windows , select the settings gear and choose Private Browsing from the drop-down menu.

How to Manage History in Safari on iOS Devices

The Safari app is part of the iOS operating system used in the Apple iPhone , iPad, and iPod touch . To manage the Safari browsing history on an iOS device:

Tap the  Safari app to open it.

Tap the Bookmarks  icon at the bottom of the screen. It resembles an open book.

Tap the History icon at the top of the screen that opens. It resembles a clock face.

Scroll through the screen for a website to open. Tap an entry to open the page in Safari.

To clear the browsing history, tap  Clear  at the bottom of the History screen.

Choose one of the four options:  The last hour , Today , Today and yesterday , and  All time .

Clearing your Safari history also removes cookies and other browsing data. If your iOS device is signed into your iCloud account, the browsing history is removed from other devices that are signed in.

Tap  Done  to exit the screen and return to the browser page.

If you only want to remove individual sites from your Safari history, swipe left on the entry, then tap Delete .

How to Use Private Browsing in Safari on iOS Devices

You can also use Private Browsing in iOS to prevent your Safari search history and web data from being saved:

Open the Safari app and then press and hold the tabs icon (the two overlapping boxes) at the bottom of the screen.

Tap Private .

Tap the plus sign to open a private browsing window.

When you are in private browsing, the background of the URL address bar is black instead of light gray. Enter a URL or search term as usual.

When you are ready to go back to regular browsing, tap the tabs icon and then tap Private to turn off private browsing.

How to access and export Safari web history from an iPhone or iPad

Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch keeps track of your web browsing history and saves the bookmarks for your favorite sites. iExplorer allows you to view this data in its custom interface, and if you are using a PC, you can even export your bookmarks to your computer as .CSV or .TXT format.

What you will need

• An iPhone, iPad, or iPod
• USB cable to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
• A Mac or PC with iTunes installed

Before you begin

If you don't already have iExplorer installed download it by clicking the button below. For more detailed installation instructions, click here .

Requires Windows 7, 8, 10 or later and iTunes" href="https://macroplant.com/iexplorer/download/pc/complete/4.6.0">Download iExplorer Toggle Dropdown Requires macOS 10.10 or later and iTunes" class=dropdown-item data-app-version-id=180 data-toggle=tooltip data-placement=top data-container=body data-html=true href="https://macroplant.com/iexplorer/download/mac/complete/4.6.0">For Mac Requires Windows 7, 8, 10 or later and iTunes" data-app-version-id=181 data-toggle=tooltip data-placement=top data-container=body data-html=true href="https://macroplant.com/iexplorer/download/pc/complete/4.6.0">For Windows

To view your Safari bookmarks and web history, open iExplorer and connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

In the Device Overview screen, click on Safari under the Data tab or under Backups in the left panel.

If you didn't already have an iTunes backup on this computer, iExplorer will ask whether to create one, either "Yes" or "No", or if you have an existing backup, you'll be asked whether to "Use Last Backup" or "Refresh" to create a new one. If it's been less than 24 hours since your last backup, iExplorer will automatically load the existing backup. If you need to make a newer one, you can right-click on Backups in the left panel and choose to refresh.

Your Safari data will load in the main window, and you'll see your Bookmarks, Reading List (Mac), and History appear as a list in the middle column. Select a bookmark or folder , and the URL's will display to the right along with other information such as the title of the webpage.

If you are using a PC, you can export any to your computer by selecting a bookmark, bookmarks folder, or history time period in the list and click on the Export Selected button and choose between .CSV or .TXT format.

To export all bookmarks and history to your PC, click on the Export All button.

Export history from Safari to Chrome

I have a simple question, how can I export history from Safari to Chrome ?

I know that I can only import history from Chrome but export is not exist only bookmarks .. I spent hours to search for alternative solutions but unfortunately Google support informed me to open discussion in Apple community.

Also Xmarks is just sync bookmars, tabs .. etc not history 😟

iMac, iOS 10.2.1

I'm looking into this issue right now. So far the closest I have found to a solution is at GitHub - Roman2K/hist_safari2chrome: Import Safari history into Chrome which if run correctly will transfer history from Safari to Chrome and then for me allow me to transfer that history from Chrome to FireFox since FF can import Chrome's history directly. Unfortunately my understanding of Ruby, Gemfiles etc. is rudimentary to non-existant at best so I have no idea how to run the script and get it to work. I've tried in Terminal and get all kinds of errors. If you get it to work for you please share:-)

Exporting history from Safari to Chrome doesn't work.

Bookmarks can be exported.

What are other options I have?

Unfortunately there is no other option available.

Keep visiting the important sites and Chrome will add the sites to history folder.
