Clearing search history.

How do I clear search history and website data on my safari? i’ve already tried pressing “Clear History and Website Data” on the settings app>safari, and it was in grey writing and when i clicked it, nothing happened and when i went to safari, my search history was still there. Any other ways to clear my history other then that, or any other options?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Have you checked Settings/Screen Time for any restrictions?


Try double clicking the Home button or swipe up from the bottom of the screen and swipe Safari upwards. Go to Settings/Safari and clear History and Website Data. Open Safari and test.
