Share This:

If you’re an iPad user, then you know how convenient it can be to quickly search for something online. But like all devices, your iPad stores a history of your past searches. This can be useful for easily redoing a search you’ve done before, but if you’re concerned about privacy or just want to keep the list of searches tidy, deleting recent searches is easy to do.

When you open Safari on your iPad, tap the address bar at the top of the screen and your list of recent searches will appear. To delete a single entry from this list, tap and hold the entry unil a menu appears. Then select “Delete” to remove it from your search history. You can also delete multiple entries by tapping the “Clear” button in the upper right corner of this menu.

If you want to delete all of your recent searches at once, go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. This will erase all records in the Safari browsing history – not just searches – so keep that in mind befre tapping “Clear”.

Finally, if you don’t want your iPad to remember any future searches, there’s an option for that too. Go back into Settings > Safari and turn off the toggle switch next to “Remember Searches.” Now all new searches will be forgotten as soon as you close Safari or switch away from it.

Deleting recent searches on your iPad is easy and can help protect your privacy or just keep thigs neat and tidy. So now that you know how to do it, make sure to keep up with regularly clearing out those old search entries!
