Safari 26 and later
Instructions for iOS · updated 1 Aug 2026
iOS has no hard-reload gesture, and Safari’s cache is cleared from the Settings app rather than from inside Safari.
Quickest check first
Open the page in a Private tab. Private tabs don’t reuse the normal cache, so if the page looks correct there, a stale cache is your problem — and you can carry on below.
Clear the cache only
This leaves your browsing history alone.
-
Open the Settings app.
-
Tap Apps, then tap Safari. On iOS 17 and earlier, Safari is listed directly in the main Settings list instead.
-
Scroll down and tap Advanced, then Website Data.
-
Tap Remove All Website Data, or swipe left on a single site to remove just that one.
Clear everything
-
Go to Settings → Apps → Safari.
-
Tap Clear History and Website Data.
-
Choose All history, then tap Clear History.
This signs you out of websites and clears history on every device signed in to the same iCloud account.
