Clear Your Browsing History on the iPad

The Web browser that you use to visit websites on your iPad is called Safari, and it has many of the same features and capabilities of a browser that you might use on your computer.

One of these features is that it stores your browsing history. This is helpful if you want to return to a site that you were visiting previously.

However, if someone else uses the same iPad, then you may not want them to be able to check the sites that you have been visiting. If this is the case, then you can follow this tutorial to learn how to clear your history in Safari.
