Got a page you need to find again? Or maybe you just want to retrace your steps? Let’s break down how to check your browsing history in Safari Browser, step-by-step, whether you’re on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad. It’s a quick way to find what you’re looking for without the hassle.
Steps to View Safari Browsing History on Mac
- Look for the Safari Browser app icon on your desktop—blue with a compass. Open it.
- At the top left of your screen, click on History in the menu bar. A drop-down menu will appear.
- Click on Show All History. A new window will open, listing every site you’ve visited, grouped by date. You can now browse by day or scroll through to find a specific site.
- For quick access, use the search box in the top right corner of the history window. Type any part of the site name or keyword, and Safari Browser will pull up matching sites.
- If you’re logged into iCloud, your Safari history from other devices, like your iPhone or iPad, also appears here. It’s all in one place.
- Need to clear your history? Go back to the History menu and select Clear History. Choose the timeframe you want to delete, then confirm.
Steps to View Safari Browsing History on iPhone or iPad
- Tap on the Safari Browser icon, which you’ll find on your home screen.
- Tap the book icon at the bottom of the screen, then select the clock icon to open your history.
