Mobile Safari

To reload a page in Mobile Safari from a remote server or clear up space on your iPhone you may want to clear the browser cache. Files are automatically stored in the browser cache just like they are on the desktop version of Safari and in other web browsers. This helps to speed up web page loading on sites you have already visited.

To clear the Safari cache:

1. Navigate to Settings -> Safari
2. Scroll down and touch Clear Cache.
3. Tap the Clear Cache button.

Your Safari browser history and cookies can also be cleared using the same settings menu.

Did you know you can create folders in Mobile Safari to organize bookmarks? This feature is hidden in Safari on the iPhone, but here's the procedure:

1. In Safari, choose the Bookmarks button (this icon looks like the outline of a book at the bottom of the screen).

2. Touch Edit on the lower left.

3. The New Folder button will appear on the bottom right.

4. Enter the title of the new folder to create and choose the folder to put the new folder in.

5. Touch Done and touch Done a second time. The new folder will appear in the list of bookmarks.

Apple includes a Safari debug console for developers in the iPhone firmware. Some users have turned this on without realizing that it's unnecessary to them. In fact, it takes up already limited screen real estate when running Safari and is generally annoying if you have no interest in the console.
