Delete My Reading List on iPhone

On iPhone, we have both Reading List and Bookmarks features to help us save and access web content we want to revisit later. Unlike the bookmarks that are intended for long-term storage of websites you want to revisit regularly or keep for reference, Reading List is more suitable for temporary storage of webpages and articles that we intend to read in the near future. It’s meant for content that you want to consume once and potentially remove afterward. When you finish reading the next time or when you have added links to reading list for future access but later you find you do not need them any more, you may want to delete the link added to reading list in iPhone. In this guide, we will show you two different ways to delete items from iPhone reading list. One method is to delete reading list items one by one, the other is to mass delete multiple or all items from reading list on iPhone. You should be able to follow the same instructions to delete reading list on iPad as well.
