Clear History and Website Data

[insocal]

It seems the feature for typing in of "Clear History and Website Data" in Settings no longer takes you right to that option in the Safari app settings. It actually brings up nothing at all now. This was a great feature, and I'm hoping it's brought back. Much quicker than going into Settings, then Apps, then Safari, then scrolling down to the Clear History and Website Data option.

Wow, that's wild. And you're also on Beta 3? Because this is what I've got...

It still works for me on DB3.

I'm on an iPhone 15 Pro, for the BETA. I just happened to notice it's finally showing a percentage for the "Optimizing Search and Siri", which wasn't there at first. Up to 47% now. Maybe that's part of it, and things will adjust.

I’m on b3 with a 17PM and i’m having the same issue, I had the optimizing search and siri message for 24 hours before it disappeared. Even when you search for any iOS native app (messages, photos, maps….), nothing comes up. Third party apps do come up when searching. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ah, interesting. Thank you!

Seems like an indexing issue I had to deal with in iOS 26. One painful workaround is turn off all the Siri options for every app, restart the phone, then turn everything back on while leaving it plugged in.
This forces the Spotlight reindexing and should start showing everything after a few mins. Phone might get warm during this process.
Or you can wait till the current indexing cycle is finished to see if that solves the issue.

17 pro max….can’t get to that setting either by search. Beta 3.
