But anyone with access to your iPhone can see the pages that you have visited, and you might prefer that they aren’t able to see all of them. Fortunately you can delete individual items from your iPhone Safari history instead of simply removing all of them at once. Our Safari history iPhone guide can provide you with additional information on using and managing your browsing history on an iPhone.
