While on furlough and experimenting at home with how things work on IOS I have noticed that if I clear history and website data in settings then look at safari under iphone storage, the history file always reads 184kb after being emptied. Documents and date read around 10.5mb but this can vary.
Â
If I then open safari to a blank tab (not google or anything else simply a blank tab) even if in private mode the history file increases to anywhere between 201kb and 205kb.
Â
If I then close the tab and then safari and go back to the iphone storage menu the history file has returned to 184kb.
Â
A complete guess is that the change in file size is down to sqlite creating the SHM and WAL files as the database is opened and then deleting them when the database connection is closed.
Â
Does anyone have a different theory or am I the only one sad enough to have noticed this? 😂
