This is a quick tip that will show you how to access navigation history when using the Safari browser on your iPhone, iPad (Mini), and iPod Touch. This is another one of those features that is really simple to access but somewhat hidden if you don’t know how to activate it. To access the navigation history all you need to do is tap and hold on the forward or backward navigation arrows at the bottom left corner of the screen in the Safari browser. Tapping and holding for 2 seconds on the navigation arrows will pull up the site history for that tab. Tap any of the results to reload the page from your history.
