How to clear your Apple Maps search history

It?s funny how you can use an app for ages, but still learn new things about it.

Earlier this week I gave a presentation to the North Coast Mac Users Group, and during their question-and-answer session, someone asked how to clear the search history in Apple?s Maps app.

My instinct was to tap in the app?s search bar, which displays a list of your previous searches right below the search box. That?s my go-to location when I?m trying to bring up a past search. But while you can tap on past searches from there in order to revisit them, you can?t swipe on individual items to delete them and there?s no button to clear them all out. (Users of Apple Maps on the iPad are provided with a handy Clear button right within the search window?but iPhone users are not so lucky.)

Tap the Bookmark icon to access the Bookmarks, Recents, and Contacts lists.
