Title: How to Remove Frequently Visited on Safari: A Friendly Guide:

Welcome to our friendly guide on how to remove Safari's Frequently Visited section from the Safari start page on your iPhone. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to improve your Safari experience by customizing your start page and clearing specific sites or your entire history.

Safari is a popular web browser for iPhone users, offering a user-friendly interface and a range of features to enhance your browsing experience. However, the Frequently Visited section on the Safari start page can sometimes be cluttered with sites you no longer visit or want to see. Thankfully, removing these sites is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps.

I. Accessing the Safari Start Page

To begin customizing your Safari start page, you first need to access it. Here's how:

1. Launch Safari on your iPhone.

2. Tap the Tabs icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen. It looks like two overlapping squares.

3. Tap the Add (+) icon that appears at the bottom center of the screen. This will open a new tab and take you to the Safari start page.

II. Customizing the Start Page

Once you are on the Safari start page, you can customize it to suit your preferences. Here's how:

1. Scroll down to the bottom of the start page. You will see a section called Frequently Visited.

2. Tap the Edit button located in the bottom left corner of the screen.

3. Locate Frequently Visited and toggle it off to remove it from view. You can also toggle on Use Start Page on All Devices if you want a consistent browsing experience across your devices.

By disabling the Frequently Visited section, you will no longer see those sites on your start page. This can help declutter your browsing experience and make it easier to find the sites you regularly visit.

III. Clearing a Specific Site or Safari History

If there are specific sites that you want to remove from the Frequently Visited section, you can do so easily. Here's how:

1. Long-press on the website icon under the Frequently Visited section that you want to clear. A context menu will appear.

2. From the context menu, tap Delete to remove that specific site from view.

This method allows you to selectively remove sites that you no longer want to see, while keeping the ones you still visit frequently.

IV. Deleting Your Entire Safari History

If you prefer to clear your entire browsing history, including the Frequently Visited section, there are two options available to you. Here's how:

Option 1:

1. Open Safari and tap on the Bookmark icon located in the toolbar at the bottom middle of your screen. It looks like an open book.

2. Head to the History tab.

3. Tap Clear, then select All History from the options provided.

4. Confirm by tapping Clear History.

Option 2:

(Note: This option will delete both your history and all frequently visited sites)

1. Open Settings on your iPhone and scroll down until you find Safari.

2. Tap on Safari settings.

3. Scroll down until you see Clear History and Website Data.

4. Tap this option, then confirm by tapping Clear History and Data.

Both options allow you to erase your browsing history and start fresh. This can be helpful if you want to maintain your privacy or if your Safari start page is cluttered with sites you no longer want to see.

By following these simple steps, you can effortlessly remove frequently visited sites from your Safari start page, customize it according to your preferences, and even clear specific sites or your entire browsing history. Enjoy a more personalized and streamlined Safari experience on your iPhone! Safari offers a range of features and options to enhance your browsing experience, and customizing your start page is just one way to make it your own.
