In short

Since One UI 8.5, Samsung Internet is called Samsung Browser, and it still is on One UI 9. Find it under Settings, Apps, Samsung Browser. In the browser's settings, Personal browsing data has Delete browsing data at the top.

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.

6 of 6 steps show a real screenshot from our Galaxy S26 (One UI 9.0), Galaxy A57 5G (One UI 8.5) and Galaxy A57 (One UI 9).

Steps

    Open the browser's own settings

    On the App info page, tap Samsung Browser settings, the first row under the app name. In the browser itself, tap the menu (three lines) and Settings.

    On the same App info page ours showed Notifications, Blocked, and under Defaults, Browser app, Chrome. The first time you open the browser it asks you to agree to its Terms and conditions and Privacy Notice before it shows anything.

    Choose what to delete

    Tap Delete browsing data, pick a time range at the top and tick what to delete, then tap Delete data.

    On ours the range was All time; Browsing history, Cookies and site data and Cached images and files were ticked, Passwords and Autofill data were not. We did not delete anything.

    Check its notifications

    Go to Settings, Apps, Samsung Browser and tap Notifications.

    Our picture shows the page that opens: Allow notifications was off, and the page said All notifications from this app are blocked. On the App info page before it, Notifications showed Blocked.

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

  • The browser sends no notifications On our Galaxy Allow notifications was off. Turn it on in Settings, Apps, Samsung Browser, Notifications.
  • Links open in a different browser On our Galaxy the App info page showed Browser app set to Samsung Browser under Defaults. Check this setting on your phone.
  • Sync with Samsung Cloud does not sync The setting says to sign in to your Samsung account to sync your Bookmarks, Saved pages, and more.

Good to know

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

The screenshots are from a Samsung Galaxy S26 with One UI 9.0 and Android 17, in Dark mode, apart from steps 3 to 5, from our Galaxy A57 with One UI 8.5. Other Galaxy phones on One UI 8.5 and 9 use similar menus; on older One UI versions a few names and positions differ. Steps 3 to 5 are from the same A57 (step 5 after its One UI 9 update). We only looked at these screens on our phones and changed nothing.
