System Upgraded to Ventura 13 and Safari 16 and under General, Remove History Items, After One Day will still not work Automatically. It only works Manually if you change say to After One Week then back to After One Day which then triggers a pop up asking do you really want to delete this etc. Any thoughts?
Now on Safari 16.2 and still AUTO delete history options not working.
Can anyone out there confirm or otherwise that it works on their machines, as I previously asked?

Hello Todd?
Whilst I appreciate your reply, I can assure you that I have only resorted to this discussion group in the hope that someone out there will have enough experience and expertise to suggest a solution that is not so obvious. I and others have this issue and restart, safe mode etc do not resolve the bug. I have reported this in Monterey 12 and earlier Safari 15 since first owning my MBPro14M1 late 2020, to Apple Feedback and still no resolution. The same bug still in Ventura 13 And Safari 16. The Automatic Options to delete History Do Not Work!
Hello, thanks for reply and yes have tried all suggestions.
What would be useful is if someone out there was to set their Safari to automatically delete history after one day, then check their history each day afterwards to see if safari does actually delete on a day by day basis without any further manual intervention.
Thanks for your reply. All avenues tried and no resolution.
It would be great if one of you community specialists out there could simply do what I have asked above. It would only take a day to see the result and seconds to instigate. Just want to know if anyone else has the same issue!
Hey JMAMBP14,
Did you also reach out to Apple Support to report this? If not, do that so they can look further into this with you. Here’s the link to reach out to them for your convenience:

Hello JMAMBP14,
Being able to clear the history in Safari is great feature. If you haven't already, restart your Mac using the steps listed below. While restarting is a simple step, it can help resolve many issues. You can also find these steps outlined in the following article.
Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support
We look forward to the results!
Hi there JMAMBP14,
Thanks for letting us know. Did you also get to test to see if this might happen in a temporary new user? We ask this as a new user doesn't have data or custom changed settings, which can help isolate if the issue is happening in multiple users in Safari or if there might be an issue with a specific user on your Mac. If needed, the steps below show how:
"Add a user
> System Settings, then click Users & Groups 
in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)Those steps are from this article: Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support
If the issue happens in both your user and a new user, then you could backup your Mac and then reinstall macOS:
"Intel processor
Turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold Command (⌘)-R until you see an Apple logo or other image."
If you need directions for Apple silicon, then you can find that and the steps above, from this article: How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support
If needed, this article shows multiple options on how to back up a Mac: How to back up your Mac - Official Apple Support
If you've already tried those steps or if the issue continues, you can contact Apple Support for further assistance here: Contact - Official Apple Support
Cheers.
