If you do not see this option

  • You still see Samsung Internet. Your phone runs One UI 8.0 or older, where the app keeps its old name, according to Sammy Fans.
  • Personal browsing data is not on screen Scroll down the browser's settings. On our Galaxy it was below Security and privacy, in the same group.
  • You cannot find the browser's menu Go to Settings, Apps, Samsung Browser and tap Samsung Browser settings on the App info page. It opens the browser's settings directly. Sources: Samsung Browser by Samsung Electronics, Samsung simplifies its Internet browser name on new Galaxy phones

If this does not work

About this guide

If you cannot find Samsung Internet after the One UI 8.5 update, it has not gone: Samsung renamed it. Samsung's own listing in Google Play now names the app Samsung Browser. Phones on older One UI versions may still show the old name.

On other Galaxy phones or One UI versions, some names and positions may differ. Steps 2 and 5 are from the same phone after its One UI 9 update (Android 17). The app is still called Samsung Browser there.

Good to know

Samsung also offers Samsung Browser for Windows PCs; the browser showed us a banner about it.

In short: Samsung Internet = Samsung Browser on One UI 8.5. Delete browsing data is under Personal browsing data in the browser's settings.
