Will I be logged out of websites after clearing Safari cache on iPhone 13 Pro?
If you only clear the cache (cached images and files) in Safari, you will NOT be logged out. However, if you also clear cookies and site data, you will be logged out of most websites. When clearing, only check the cache option to stay logged in.
What does Safari cache on my iPhone 13 Pro actually store?
The Safari cache on your iPhone 13 Pro stores temporary copies of website resources โ images, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, fonts, and other web content. This allows Safari to load previously visited pages faster by using local copies instead of downloading everything again.
How much storage does Safari cache use on iPhone 13 Pro?
The Safari cache size on your iPhone 13 Pro varies based on your browsing habits, but it typically ranges from a few hundred megabytes to several gigabytes. Heavy browsing and visiting media-rich sites increases cache size. Clearing the cache is an easy way to reclaim storage space.
Can I clear Safari cache for just one website on iPhone 13 Pro?
In some cases, yes. On desktop versions of Safari, you can clear cache for specific sites through developer tools or site settings. On mobile, the options may be more limited. For the most reliable fix, clearing the entire Safari cache is recommended.
What's the difference between cache and cookies in Safari on iPhone 13 Pro?
On your iPhone 13 Pro, the Safari cache stores website files (images, scripts) for faster loading, while cookies store data like login sessions and preferences. Clearing cache helps fix display issues; clearing cookies logs you out of sites. These can be cleared independently.
