Can Apple employees see my internet history when I go to get my phone checked?

[Sophia]

My phone is losing battery unbelievably quickly so I'm going to the apple store with my parents to see what's wrong. I've been using private browsing and checking that my history is deleted but I'm wondering if the apple employee will be able to access it some how? Is there any way I can makes sure it's all deleted?

There's no way to permanently delete anything off of a hard drive though I guarantee you that the Apple employee won't make the effort to try and retrieve the data especially since you have a problem that relates to the battery rather than the hard drive.

All your browsing history passed though Apple.

Good Evening Sophia,

If you are using private browsing Safari is not keeping track of those websites. Here's some information from the support.apple.com website relating to Safari on iPhone:

Removing or clearing stored Safari content

To clear your history from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History
To clear all cookies from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
iOS 5 or later: To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data



You might also find this part helpful:

To enable or disable Private Browsing, turn Private Browsing on or off.

Private Browsing in iOS 5 protects private information and blocks some websites from tracking your behavior. Safari doesn't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information.

Note: While Private Browsing is enabled, the Safari bars appear black or dark instead of blue or gray


Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need any further help.

Thank you,
