The exact steps depend on which app and platform you’re using — the steps below are for the YouVersion Bible App, the most widely used Bible app.
How to Clear Your Bible Reading History (iPhone/iPad)
1. Open the Bible App and select the Bible tab.
2. In the top left, tap the bar showing your current book and chapter.
3. In the top right, select History.
4. Tap the Clear button in the top right to clear your reading history.
Your history is also erased automatically when you sign out of the app or uninstall it, and it will not come back when you sign back in or reinstall.
Android
On Android, the app does not currently offer a button to manually clear your reading history from the Recents list. Your history clears automatically when you sign out of the app, uninstall it, or update it.
If You’re Using a Different Bible App
Steps vary by app and by version, so if the steps above don’t match what you see, check the Settings or History section of your specific app for a Clear History or Delete Activity option, or contact that app’s support directly.
