Yup, sounds like clearing the cache could help speed up Safari on your iPhone. Here are the steps to get that done:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap on ‘Safari.’
- Scroll to the bottom and tap on ‘Clear History and Website Data.’
- A confirmation pop-up will appear—tap ‘Clear History and Data.’
This should wipe out all the cache and cookies that might be bogging down Safari. Just a heads-up: doing this will log you out of websites you’re currently signed in to, so you’ll need to log back in.
Additionally, if you want to clear history but keep browsing data intact, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data, and then tap “Remove All Website Data.” This can be a bit more targeted while still giving you a speed boost.
Hope your Safari starts running like a cheetah again!
