IOS – Should I erase Website data in settings

batteryiosiphonesafari

I'm trying to track down why my battery is running down so quickly on my iPhone 6s. Is it okay to erase Safari Website Data?

Best Answer

It is perfectly safe to delete Website Data, although that is unlikely to solve your battery life issues. Website Data only include things such as cookies and webpage caches.

If anything, your phone will have to work a little harder to redownload images, log you back in to websites, etc. the first time you visit each site after wiping Website Data.

Specifically the browse button is disabled because there isn't a file browser (like Windows Explorer/Finder) on the iPhone. Most people don't notice that, because the iOS is designed around avoiding the need for a user interface to the iPhone's file system.

For simplicity's sake file management is turned into a programing problem instead of a user problem. For security's sake applications can't directly access the documents of other applications.

As Jawa mention, a lot of sites have iPhone applications to allow uploads.

Safari – Tracking Website Visit Time in History

I just tried this in 10.11.4 and it works; you can see the history. If someone clears the cache, this goes away.

Go to the following location:

/Users/yourname/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/History/

From here you can change the view to List View and sort by Date Modified.
