How To : Get Rid of Frequently Visited Websites in Safari on Your iPhone, iPad, or Mac

Safari has a helpful feature that shows your most frequently visited webpages whenever you open a new tab or window, but it's not for everyone. If you never use it, would rather have a minimalist start page, or want to prevent other people with access to Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac from seeing the websites you frequent the most, you can get rid of it.

Removing the list of your most frequently visited websites in Safari is simple, and you can make your choice apply across all of your iCloud-connected devices.

If you don't use the frequently visited section or want to slim down your start page, hiding it is the best option since you can unhide it and see those sites again. However, if you share an iPad or Mac at home with family and don't want them to see what sites you're visiting the most from your iPhone, erasing your frequently visited sites is best for privacy.

Method 1: Hide 'Frequently Visited' from Safari's Start Page

Open the start page in Safari on your iPhone or iPad, which should show up immediately if you don't have any open tabs. With tabs already open, long-press the tabs button in the toolbar and select "New Tab" from the menu that appears to open a fresh one. You can also tap the tabs button and hit the plus (+) button.

Scroll down the start page, tap the "Edit" button, and then toggle off the "Frequently Visited" switch. Once you close the start page customization options, the Frequently Visited section should be gone.

If you reopen the start page editor and toggle "Frequently Visited" back on, the webpages you frequently visit should appear again when you exit the editor.

On macOS, click the plus (+) sign at the top of Safari's window, press Command-T , or go to File –> New Tab in the menu bar to open a new tab for the start page. You can also press Command-N or go to File –> New Window in the menu bar to open a new window to the start page.

You may have Safari set up to open new tabs or windows to a specific website or blank page if you don't see the start page appear. Press Command-, or go to Safari –> Preferences in the menu bar, then set new tabs and/or windows to "Start Page."

If you don't want to set the start page to open with new tabs and/or windows, you can also go to Bookmarks –> Show Start Page in the menu bar to replace your current tab with the start page.

Instead of an "Edit" button on the start page, click the preferences icon and uncheck "Show Frequently Visited."

Alternatively, right-click anywhere in the blank area of the start page to uncheck it.

Turning on the " Use Start Page on All Devices " switch in the start page customization options will sync your start page settings across all your iCloud-connected Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac computers). For your start page preferences to sync, you must be signed in with the same Apple ID, be running the latest software, have "Safari" enabled in your iCloud preferences, and have 2FA enabled. ( Find out more. )

Method 2: Clear 'Frequently Visited' from Safari's History

The problem with Method 1 is that it only hides your list of frequently visited websites — it doesn't get rid of it. So if your goal is to stop other people with access to your Safari browser from seeing these sites, you'll want to eliminate your browsing history instead.

Open Safari on your iPhone, tap the book icon, then the clock, and hit "Clear." On iPad, tap the sidebar icon, then "History," and hit "Clear." A quick actions menu will appear with a message warning you that clearing your history on your iPhone or iPad will also erase it across all your iCloud-connected devices. Clearing it will also remove cookies and other browsing data on your current device only.

Tap "All time" to delete all browsing data and remove the "Frequently Visited" section from your Safari start page.

You can also go to Settings –> Safari –> Clear History and Website Data to achieve the same effect. After you go back to your Safari start page, you'll notice the "Frequently Visited" section is no longer there.

On macOS, go to History –> Clear History or Safari –> Clear History in the menu bar, choose "all history" from the drop-down menu, and hit "Clear History" to wipe the slate clean, effectively removing the Frequently Visited section from your Safari start page. If you still see the Frequently Visited area, close and reopen Safari.

Alternatively, you can go to History –> Show All History in the menu bar, click "Clear History" on the page, choose "all history" from the drop-down menu, and hit "Clear History."

Those options for macOS will also remove cookies and other browsing data on your current computer as it does on iOS and iPadOS. If you want to clear your history across all your iCloud-connected devices but keep your cookies and other browsing data on your Mac, hold down the Option key to turn "Clear History" in the menu bar to "Clear History and Keep Website Data," and click on that.

If you want Safari to stop showing your frequently visited websites altogether in the future, it's a good idea to combine the two methods above — hide the section from your start page and clear your browsing history.

Just updated your iPhone? You'll find new emoji, enhanced security, podcast transcripts, Apple Cash virtual numbers, and other useful features. There are even new additions hidden within Safari. Find out what's new and changed on your iPhone with the iOS 17.4 update.

Whenever you open Safari, you'll see a list of sites that you frequently visit, but what if you don't want that to show? Fortunately, you can toggle that section off or clear your browsing history so those sites don't display on your new tabs in Safari. This wikiHow article teaches you how to get rid of the "Frequently Visited" sites on Safari on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Things You Should Know

• Hide your 'Frequently Visited' sites on iPhone by tapping "Edit" in a new tab, then toggling the feature off.
• For Mac, open a new tab and click the filter icon, then uncheck "Frequently Visited" to turn it off.
• Alternatively, you can clear Safari's history to get rid of 'Frequently Visited'.

Hiding Safari's "Frequently Visited" on iPhone & iPad

• Use this method if you don't want to delete your browsing or search history, but just don't want "Frequently Visited" to display on your new tabs.

• A "Customizing Start Page" window will open.

• You can also toggle on or off “Use Start Page on All Devices” on your iPhone/iPad to sync those preferences with your other devices.
• To enable "Frequently Visited," simply go back to a new tab, tap Edit and tap the switch so it's green.
• For older iOS versions, the "Frequently Visited" tab is located within your Settings app in the Safari option.
• If it doesn't work, like you toggle it off and then look a day later and see the toggle is back on, make sure you don't have "Use Start Page on All Devices" checked on your Mac, as that could be syncing your Mac's Safari preferences with your other Apple devices.
• To delete individual "Frequently Visited" sites, press and hold the icon next to a site and tap Delete when it pops up.

Hiding Safari's "Frequently Visited" on Mac

• If you're not in a new tab, click the plus icon, or press Cmd + T , or go to File > New Tab . Or, if you have new tabs set to open on a specific page, go to Bookmarks > Show Start Page .

• You won't see that section next time you open a new tab in Safari!
• If you have "Use Start Page on All Devices" checked, any changes you make on your Mac will also affect your iPhone or iPad. So, if you attempt to toggle off "Frequently Visited" on only your iPhone, but it's enabled on your Mac, it will toggle back on automatically. [1] X Research source
• You can also delete individual sites from "Frequently Visited" by clicking one of the icons and dragging it to the trash can in the Dock.

Deleting Safari's History on iPhone & iPad

• If you're using an iPad, open the sidebar instead.
• Use this method if you want to clear the history for Safari rather than just hide your "Frequently Visited" sites.

• On iPad, this will say "History" instead.

• Alternatively, open the Settings app , then go to Safari > Clear History and Website Data to achieve the same results.

Deleting Safari's History on Mac

• Use this method if you want to clear the history for Safari rather than just hiding your "Frequently Visited" sites.

How to Remove "Frequently Visited" on Safari (iPhone and Mac)

• iPhone, iPad, and Mac users have a total of three ways to get rid of Safari's "Frequently Visited" section.
• Choose between hiding the entire section or deleting specific sites if you wish to keep using the feature but want to clear certain websites.
• Deleting your Safari history is a better option to ensure complete privacy and prevent others from seeing your web history and top-searched sites.

The "Frequently Visited" section on Safari's start page makes it easy to access top-searched websites quickly. However, someone who borrows your device for a moment can easily see what these sites are. So, here's how to remove "Frequently Visited" from Safari.

How to Remove Safari's Frequently Visited Section on an iPhone

First, let's look at removing the Frequently Visited section from the Safari start page. Follow the steps below to learn what you need to do:

• Launch Safari. If there's already a webpage loaded, tap the Tabs icon (two squares, overlapped) in the toolbar.
• Then, tap the Add (+) icon in the bottom-left corner to open a new tab and access the start page.
• On the start page, scroll down to the bottom and tap Edit .
• Now, toggle off Frequently Visited . Close

That's it. After toggling off Frequently Visited , you can also opt to toggle on Use Start Page on All Devices as an additional setting to improve your Safari experience . This will remove the Frequently Visited section from Safari across your other Apple devices, as long as you're signed in to them with the same Apple ID.

How to Get Rid of Frequently Visited Sites in Safari on an iPhone

If you want to continue using the Frequently Visited section but wish to clear one or more of the existing sites listed there, you have two options: delete a specific site or delete your Safari history.

To remove a specific site, long-press on the website icon under the Frequently Visited section and tap Delete from the context.

Deleting your Safari history is the better option if you want to ensure that people won't find out which websites you've visited. That's because removing the Frequently Visited section and deleting specific sites only hides them from view. Those sites still remain in your Safari history.

So, if someone types certain letters or keywords into the search field, the website link will naturally appear as part of your web history.

To delete your Safari history and get rid of all frequently visited sites at once, tap the Bookmark icon in the toolbar, head to the History tab (clock icon), and tap Clear > All History > Clear History .

How to Remove Safari's Frequently Visited Section on a Mac

Let's move on to the instructions for Mac. First, open Safari to view the start page. If you're already on a webpage in Safari, you can access the start page by clicking Bookmarks > Show Start Page from the menu bar.

To customize the Safari start page on your Mac , click Options (icon shows three sliders) at the bottom and uncheck Frequently Visited . This section will now disappear from the start page in Safari.

How to Get Rid of Frequently Visited Sites in Safari on a Mac

Like on an iPhone, you can choose to keep the Frequently Visited section but delete a specific site from the list. In Safari, Control -click on the website under Frequently Visited and choose Delete .

To get rid of frequently visited websites from your web history and prevent them from showing up at the top of your search suggestions, you'll need to delete your Safari history on macOS.

With the browser open, click Safari in the menu bar and choose Clear History . Click the dropdown arrow in the pop-up menu and select All History . Then, click Clear History to confirm your action.

Safari's Frequently Visited Section Doesn't Have to Compromise Your Privacy

As you can see, iPhone, iPad, and Mac users have three options if they wish to remove frequently visited sites from Safari.

If your aim is to simply remove the whole list of sites from plain view, you can hide the entire Frequently Visited section. However, if you want to continue using the feature for convenience, you can either delete specific sites or clear your Safari history completely.

Removing the frequently visited sites in Safari on your iPhone is pretty straightforward. In a few taps, you can clear those sites and have a fresh slate for your browsing session. Just head into Safari’s settings and you can say goodbye to that list in no time.

Introduction

In the age where our digital footprint is as significant as our physical one, maintaining privacy online is crucial. For iPhone users, Safari is the window to the web, and by default, it keeps track of the websites you visit most often. You’ve seen them, those little icons that pop up every time you tap the address bar, showing you your most frequented sites. Handy, right? But what if you don’t want Safari keeping tabs on your tabs?

Let’s face it, sometimes we visit websites that we don’t want others to know about – gift shopping, planning a surprise party, or maybe those late-night rabbit hole research sessions. The ‘Frequently Visited’ section in Safari can quickly become a tell-tale heart, thumping loudly with the secrets of your browsing history. Plus, let’s not overlook the curious little ones or friends who might grab your phone only to find out about your secret addiction to that one guilty pleasure site.

The significance of knowing how to clear this section goes beyond simple privacy concerns; it also touches on the essence of controlling your digital experience. This information is particularly relevant to anyone who uses Safari on their iPhone and values their privacy or simply likes to keep their digital spaces tidy.

Launch the browser, and then touch the Tabs button, followed by the + sign.

You will find a handful of Safari settings on this page,, including the one that is the focus of this article. It’s where you can tailor Safari to your privacy preferences and browsing needs.

Step 2: Scroll to the Edit option

Scroll to the bottom of this menu and tap the Edit button.

This option controls whether Safari displays your most visited sites when you open a new tab or tap the address bar.

Step 3: Disable ‘Frequently Visited Sites’

Switch off the ‘Frequently Visited Sites’ toggle to disable the feature.

By turning off this option, Safari will no longer track or display the sites you visit most often. It’s an instant privacy boost with just one tap.

There are several benefits to managing the frequently visited sites feature in Safari on your iPhone.

Privacy Enhancement

By disabling the frequently visited sites, you maintain better privacy over your browsing habits.

When you disable this feature, you take a step towards protecting your privacy. It ensures that anyone who may use your iPhone won’t be able to see your browsing habits at a glance.

Clean Browsing Experience

A clutter-free Safari start page awaits you without the frequently visited sites.

With the frequently visited sites gone, your Safari start page looks cleaner and more organized. It’s like having a clean desk – less visual clutter leads to a clearer mind.

Customization of Browsing Space

You gain control over your browsing space and how Safari operates.

Customization is all about making your browser work for you. If you prefer not to have Safari suggesting sites to visit, disabling this feature gives you a more neutral browsing environment.

There are also some drawbacks to consider when you disable the frequently visited sites in Safari.

Loss of Quick Access

You lose the convenience of having your go-to sites just one tap away.

For many, the frequently visited sites feature is a shortcut to their favorite corners of the web. Disabling it means you’ll have to manually type in these addresses or find them in your bookmarks.

Reduced Personalization

Your browsing experience becomes less personalized.

Safari’s frequently visited sites are a part of its effort to create a tailored browsing experience for you. When you disable this feature, you opt out of this personalization.

Forgetting Sites

You might forget about interesting sites you don’t visit regularly.

The frequently visited section can serve as a reminder for sites you don’t visit often but still enjoy. Without it, you might find it harder to remember these occasional haunts.

Additional Information

When you tweak your browser settings, it’s like setting up your own digital room. You want it to be just right: comfortable, personal, and private. Managing the frequently visited sites in Safari is just one of the many ways to ensure that your digital room feels secure and tailored to your preferences.

Remember, though, that disabling the frequently visited sites doesn’t clear your browsing history. If complete privacy is your goal, you might want to delve a bit deeper into Safari’s settings. You can clear your history and website data, use private browsing mode, or explore content blockers. Each option serves a different privacy function, and together, they provide a comprehensive approach to keeping your online activities to yourself.

Also, consider this: your browsing habits shape the internet’s understanding of you. Websites and advertisers love to track what you do online to tailor ads and content to your tastes. By managing your frequently visited sites and other privacy settings, you’re also managing the data trail you leave behind. It’s like telling the internet, “Hey, my eyes are up here,” maintaining focus on what you choose to share, not what algorithms infer about you.

How to delete frequently visited sites in Safari on iPhone, iPad

Over the years, Apple’s Safari has added features to make browsing more intuitive and seamless. One such feature is the Frequently Visited section, which by default appears on Safari’s Start Page. While this is convenient, thumbnails of your most visited sites may not be something you want others to see. If privacy is an issue for you, you have the option to delete Frequently Visited sites in Safari on your iPhone or iPad.

Further, you can selectively remove sites displayed on the section on your iPad or iPhone’s Safari. Here’s everything you need to know.

How to turn off Frequently Visited sites from Safari on iPhone or iPad

When planning a clandestine escape with your loved one or meticulously selecting the perfect gift for them, the last thing you want is for your iPhone or iPad to inadvertently divulge your plans by displaying the websites you’ve been visiting frequently. Such a slip-up could completely spoil the surprise you’ve been carefully planning. 

An easy solution to prevent this is to get rid of frequently visited sites on Safari.

However, if you find the Frequently Visited section helpful and just want to delete one or two sites from the list, that’s also possible. Here’s how:

• Launch  Safari  and tap the book icon at the bottom of the screen.
• Select the clock tab at the top right.

Wrapping up…

While Safari’s Frequently Visited section provides convenient access to the sites you’ve recently browsed, its prominent display may not be ideal if you’re trying to keep your online activities private, especially when others might have access to your device.

Its visibility can inadvertently reveal your browsing habits, which is not always desirable, especially when planning surprises or conducting sensitive searches.

How to hide frequently visited sites and top sites in safari.

The Safari web browser likes showing the websites you frequently visit when you open it.

Quick Links

Disable frequently visited sites on an iphone or ipad, disable top sites on a mac.

The Safari web browser likes showing the websites you frequently visit when you open it. On an iPhone or iPad, it shows "frequently visited sites." On a Mac, it shows your "top sites." You can disable this to prevent your browser from advertising the websites you frequently visit.

This feature is customizable. You're free to remove any websites you don't want appearing here and continue using it. On iOS, you can disable it entirely. On a Mac, you can tweak it to prevent your personal information from appearing.

As of iOS 9, it's now possible to disable the "Frequently Visited Sites" feature, preventing any frequently visited sites from appearing on the new tab page in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Only icons for your favorites will appear on Safari's new tab page.

To do this, open the Settings app, select the "Safari" category, and disable the "Frequently Visited Sites" option under the General options.

To instead just remove one or more frequently visited websites while leaving the feature enabled, open Safari's new tab page and look at the icons for your frequently visited sites. Long-press an icon and tap Delete to remove it. Safari won't show it on this page anymore, no matter how much you visit it.

The Safari web browser on Mac OS X has a similar feature. It will open to a "Top Sites" view with thumbnail previews of the websites you frequently visit when you launch Safari or open a new tab.

There's no actual way to completely hide the top sites from the interface on a Mac as there is on iOS. However, you can prevent them from appearing unless someone seeks them out, or tweak your top sites so that a specific list of websites always appears there.

The simplest option is simply clicking the star icon at the top-right of the favorites page screen. Safari will always open showing your favorite websites, and won't show top sites unless someone clicks that option. The favorites page will always contain an icon that takes you to the top sites. If you're just worried about someone seeing your top sites from over your shoulder, this will work fine.

You could also click the Safari menu and select Preferences. For "New windows open with" and "New tabs open with", select an option other than favorites -- for example, your home page or a blank page. Someone will have to click History > Show top sites to access the favorites page, and then click the top sites icon on the favorites page to access them.

Safari's top sites page is always a 4x3 grid of 12 thumbnails. You can add websites to it, remove websites from it, and lock websites in place. Lock twelve thumbnails in place and no other websites will automatically appear here.

To manually add a website to your top sites list, visit it, click the share button on Safari's toolbar, select "Add bookmarks," and tell Safari to add the page to "Top sites."

You can then visit the top sites view. Hover your mouse cursor over a top site and click the pin icon to lock the top site in place. If a website you don't want to see appears there, click the x button instead to remove it from the page.

By removing top sites you don't want to see, adding ones you do want to see, and then locking every single one in place, you can customize your list of top sites and prevent other websites from appearing here. Someone would have to start removing top sites to see other ones -- and, if that's a problem you're worried about, you should just be clearing your Safari browser history.

Many web browsers have features like this one. Ultimately, if you're worried about people seeing the websites you're visiting, you should be clearing your web browser's history and private data regularly. But you may just want to hide those sites a little bit, preventing people from seeing the websites you visit every time you open a new tab in your browser or just getting those frequently visited sites out of your way so you can focus on your favorite websites -- the websites you actually want to see every time you open your browser's new tab page.

How to remove frequently visited on iPhone step by step

• December 4, 2023
• Tara Schatz

If you use Safari or Chrome as your browser of choice on your iPhone, you may have noticed that the start page and new tab pages show you the websites that you visit frequently. The goal is to make it easier for you to tap over to your favorite websites, which obviously saves you a bit of time.

But what about the times when you may not want to advertise your browsing history to everyone who may open your phone? 

Fortunately, there is an easy way to delete frequently visited sites on your iPhone. As a bonus, you can choose to remove the Safari feature from all of your iCloud-connected devices — iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

How to remove frequently visited sites on your iPhone using Safari

There are two ways to get rid of the ‘frequently visited’ section on the start page of your iPhone when you open Safari. You can choose to hide those sites, which will give you the option of changing the settings to see them again if you change your mind. This method is useful when you just want to get rid of clutter on your start page, but it doesn’t necessarily hide your favorite websites from prying eyes.

If you want to keep others from checking out your favorite sites, your best bet is to erase those frequently visited sites entirely. We’ll go over how to do both so you can choose which method would be best for your situation, and we’ll also show you how to clear your browsing history on Chrome.

How to hide frequently visited sites from Safari on iPhone

Let’s start with this simple method for hiding your most frequently visited sites from Safari’s start page. The start page should show up when you open Safari on your iPhone, as long as you don’t have any tabs open.

If you do have tabs open, long-press the tabs icon in the lower toolbar menu and select ‘New Tab’ to pull up Safari’s start page. Then follow these steps to hide frequently visited sites:

• Scroll down to the very bottom of Safari’s start page and tap ‘Edit.’
• You will see a list of menu items to add or hide from Safari’s start page. Toggle off ‘Frequently Visited.’
• Close the customization page and check to ensure that the frequently visited sites are gone from Safari’s start page.

Keep your photos tidy with CleanMy®Phone

Clearing your browsing data and frequently visited websites is one way to streamline your internet experience and clean up clutter on your iPhone. Another way to get rid of clutter is to make it a habit to remove unwanted photos from your photo library. CleanMy®Phone makes this so easy to do. First, its Declutter module categorizes your photos so you can easily find blurry shots, screenshots, screen recordings, and other useless stuff. And its Organize tool shows you all of your similar images and lets you choose the best of the bunch so you can delete the rest. This makes it so easy to quickly scroll through your images and tap to delete them.

Clear frequently visited sites from Safari search history

When you hide your list of frequently visited sites, all you have to do is toggle the feature on in Safari’s settings to see them again. If you want to keep your browsing history private, you will have to clear your browsing history entirely. Here’s how to eliminate your browsing history on your iPhone:

• Open Safari on your iPhone.
• Tap the book icon at the bottom of the screen.
• Tap the clock icon to see a list of all the websites you’ve recently visited.
• Tap ‘Clear’ and choose the timeframe that you want to clear. You can choose to clear your browsing history from the past hour, the past day, today and yesterday, or all history. Choosing ‘all history’ is the best way to remove your frequently visited websites.
• After making your selection, tap ‘Clear History.’ 

Alternatively, you can make this same selection in Settings on your iPhone. Simply go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.

Using either method will erase all of your frequently visited sites on Safari, but you will have to repeat the procedure often if you are trying to hide the websites that you visit most often. 

If you don’t want others to see the sites you visit in Safari, you can open a private browsing window by tapping the tabs icon and choosing ‘Private.’ After you close the tab, Safari won’t remember or save the sites you’ve visited.

How to sync Safari customizations across devices

If you use Safari on your computer and it is connected to your other devices through iCloud, you can choose to sync customizations across your iCloud devices, including your iPhone and iPad. For the customizations to sync, you will have to be signed into all devices with the same Apple ID and password. Here’s how to do it from Safari on a computer:

• Open Safari on your computer.
• Tap the preferences icon in the lower right corner of your screen.
• On the pop-up menu, toggle on ‘Use Start Page on All Devices.’

How to clear your browsing history on Chrome

If you use Chrome to browse the internet, the process to remove frequently visited sites is a little different but very similar to the process in Safari. Like Safari, Chrome displays a record of your most frequently visited sites on the start screen so you can quickly check out your favorite websites. 

Here’s how to clear your browsing history from Chrome on your iPhone:

• Open Chrome on your iPhone.
• Tap ‘Recent Tabs.’
• Tap ‘Show Full History.’
• Scroll to the bottom and choose ‘Clear Browsing History.’ A menu will appear with a few different options. First, choose the time range for deleting the browsing data. You can choose from the past hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 4 weeks, or all time.
• Next, choose to clear just your browsing history or to clear cookies and cached images and files. If you clear the cookies, it will usually sign you out of most sites, and clearing cached images will temporarily slow down your browsing experience. 
• Finally, tap ‘Clear Browsing Data’ to clear your browsing history.

If you use Chrome to browse the internet and want to keep the websites you visit private, just tap the three dots in the bottom right of any Chrome screen and tap ‘New Incognito Tab.’ This will open a private tab in Chrome, and none of the data from your browsing session will be saved on your iPhone. 

The best way to remove your frequently visited websites from Safari’s start page is to use a combination of the methods listed above. Remove the sites from your start screen and make it a habit to clear your browsing data often. You should take other privacy measures like ensuring Face ID is enabled on your iPhone, changing your passcode often, and not leaving your iPhone lying around for others to tamper with.

How To Stop Frequently Visited Sites From Showing On iPhone

By Author Turner Tomlinson

Posted on Last updated: April 10, 2023

The Safari browser on iPhone has a valuable feature that displays your most frequently visited web pages each time you open a new window or tab. However, not everyone needs or wants this functionality. So, if you prefer not to use the feature, how can you disable it?

If you don’t use Safari’s Frequently Visited feature or just prefer a blank start page, turn off the feature from the app’s ‘Customize Start Page’ list. However, if you share your iPhone and want to keep the browsing history private, erasing your browser’s history is a better option.

While removing the frequently visited sites from your iPhone devices, you can also apply the setting across your iCloud-connected devices. This prevents other people with access to Safari on your Mac, iPad, or iPhone from seeing the sites you visit the most. Let’s take a closer look at the full process and how to complete it with various browsers.

How to Delete a Frequently Visited Site on iPhone 15: Easy Steps

Deleting a frequently visited site on an iPhone 15 is a simple process that requires just a few taps. Go to Safari, tap the bookmarks icon, tap on the ‘Frequently Visited’ section, press and hold the site you want to delete, and tap ‘Delete.’ And voila, the site is gone from your frequently visited list!

Step by Step Tutorial: How to Delete a Frequently Visited Site on an iPhone 15

Before we dive into the step-by-step guide, it’s important to understand that the following steps will help you remove a website that appears in the ‘Frequently Visited’ section when you open a new tab in Safari. This will not delete any history or data from the website itself, it just removes it from the quick access view.

Step 1: Open Safari

Open the Safari app on your iPhone 15. Safari is the default web browser on iPhones, and it’s where your frequently visited sites are stored. Ensure you’re on the start page, which shows up when you open a new tab.

Step 2: Access Bookmarks

Tap the bookmarks icon at the bottom of the screen. The bookmarks icon looks like an open book. Tapping it will bring you to your Safari bookmarks, history, and frequently visited sites.

Step 3: Go to the ‘Frequently Visited’ section

Find the ‘Frequently Visited’ section within your bookmarks. This section is usually found right under your bookmarks or history. It contains thumbnails of websites you visit often.

Step 4: Choose the site to be deleted

Press and hold the site’s icon you wish to delete. Pressing and holding will bring up a menu with a few options. Make sure to press on the icon gently – if you press too hard, you might activate the 3D Touch feature instead.

Step 5: Delete the site

Tap ‘Delete’ to remove the site from your ‘Frequently Visited’ list. Once you tap ‘Delete’, the site will immediately be removed from the list, and you won’t see it in the ‘Frequently Visited’ section anymore.

After completing these steps, the site you selected should no longer appear in your ‘Frequently Visited’ section. If you change your mind or delete a site by accident, you’ll need to visit that site multiple times again for it to reappear in the list.

Tips: How to Manage Frequently Visited Sites on an iPhone 15

• Keep in mind that frequently visited sites are populated based on your browsing habits, so the more you visit a site, the more likely it is to show up.
• If you want to keep a clean and curated list of frequently visited sites, consider bookmarking your favorite pages and organizing them in folders instead.
• Deleting a site from your ‘Frequently Visited’ doesn’t clear your browsing history. You’ll need to do that separately if you want to remove all traces of your visit.
• If you’re concerned about privacy, consider using Private Browsing mode in Safari which doesn’t track your browsing history.
• To prevent sites from appearing in ‘Frequently Visited’ at all, you can disable the feature in Safari settings under the ‘General’ section.

No, deleting a frequently visited site will not clear your browsing history. You’ll need to do that separately.

Can I prevent sites from appearing in my frequently visited list?

Yes, you can disable the ‘Frequently Visited’ feature in Safari’s settings under the ‘General’ section.

Is there a limit to the number of sites that can appear in the ‘Frequently Visited’ section?

Yes, there is a limit, and it varies based on the device and screen size. Once the limit is reached, older sites will be replaced by new ones based on your browsing habits.

• Open Safari.
• Tap the bookmarks icon.
• Navigate to the ‘Frequently Visited’ section.
• Press and hold the site’s icon you want to delete.
• Tap ‘Delete’ to remove the site.

In conclusion, managing your frequently visited sites on an iPhone 15 is quick and straightforward. Whether you want to declutter your Safari start page or keep certain sites private, following the steps above will help you achieve that. Remember, this won’t clear your browsing history, so take additional steps if you need more privacy. As our browsing habits evolve, so do the features on our devices, making it ever more important to stay informed about how to manage our digital footprint. So, go ahead and tidy up your Safari browser—it might just lead to a more efficient and focused browsing experience. Keep exploring, keep learning, and make your iPhone 15 work for you in the best way possible.
