When you clear your browsing history on a device that is running as an iOS 11 or higher operating system, those same logs will be automatically deleted on any other device that you are logged in with that same iCloud account. On the other hand, the following method that I am going to show you (and it is not the only one), will also erase all cookies and web data on the device you are using at that precise moment, although you should take into account that the information of Auto-complete will remain unchanged.

Next, we will see how to delete Safari browsing history, as well as cookies and website data, either for specific pages, or completely. In addition, you can choose between several options, in case you do not want to “reset the counter to zero”. Let's see:
